Title
Out of Bounds Write in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP
Summary
We have identified a buffer overflow issue allowing out-of-bounds write when processing LLMNR or mDNS queries with very long DNS names. This issue only affects systems using Buffer Allocation Scheme 1 with LLMNR or mDNS enabled.
Users should upgrade to the latest version and ensure any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
