Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the net_pkt_iface process after sending data in IPv6 Neighbor Discovery. An attacker can cause memory corruption, denial of service, or data integrity issues by sending crafted ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation packets to a node with native IPv6 enabled and per-interface statistics configured. This is only exploitable if per-interface statistics are enabled (CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_PER_INTERFACE).
