  - lwIP through 2.2.1 contains a stack out-of-bounds write vulnerability in mdns_handle_response that allows
    adjacent attackers to corrupt stack memory by sending mDNS responses with invalid domain names. Attackers
    on the local link can send multicast PTR answers with oversized RDLENGTH or SRV answers with RDLENGTH
    below 6 during a service search, overflowing a 256-byte stack buffer and crashing the device.
