Summary

An issue was discovered in FNET through 4.6.4. The code for processing resource records in mDNS queries doesn't check for proper '\0' termination of the resource record name string, leading to an out-of-bounds read, and potentially causing information leak or Denial-or-Service.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
