The vulnerability of the ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv function in the RFC 6554 Source Routing Header Handler component of the Linux operating system allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the ipv6rplsrhrcv function in the RFC 6554 Source Routing Header Handler component of the Linux operating system is related to the execution of operations outside the buffer boundaries in memory. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to compromise t...

kernel: ipv6: rpl: reserve mac_len headroom when recompressed SRH grows

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker can exploit an out-of-bounds write vulnerability when the kernel recomputes an IPv6 Source Routing Header SRH. This issue occurs because insufficient headroom is reserved during the recompression process, leading to memory corruption...
