Title
Potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the Zephyr IEEE 802.15.4 nRF 15.4 driver
Summary
Potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the Zephyr IEEE 802.15.4 nRF 15.4 driver
Severity
7.6 (High)
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
CWE
  • CWE-120 - Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')
  • CWE-121 - Stack-based Buffer Overflow A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
