CVE-2020-17468
Last modified
CVE-2020-17468 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in FNET through 4.6.4. The code for processing the hop-by-hop header (in the IPv6 extension headers) doesn't check for a valid length of an extension header, and therefore an out-of-bounds read can occur in _fnet_ip6_ext_header_handler_options in fnet_ip6.c, leading to Denial-of-Service.. EPSS estimates a 2.96% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
