Vulnerability CVE-2020-25767


Published: 2021-08-18

Description:
An issue was discovered in HCC Embedded NicheStack IPv4 4.1. The dnc_copy_in routine for parsing DNS domain names does not check whether a domain name compression pointer is pointing within the bounds of the packet (e.g., forward compression pointer jumps are allowed), which leads to an Out-of-bounds Read, and a Denial-of-Service as a consequence.

Type:

CWE-125

(Out-of-bounds Read)
