CVE-2020-25767
Last modified
CVE-2020-25767 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
