CVE-2026-7423CVE-2026-7423
amazon / freertos-plus-tcp
Description
Integer underflow in the ICMP and ICMPv6 echo reply handlers in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP before V4.4.1 and V4.2.6 allows an adjacent network user to cause a denial of service (device crash) when outgoing ping support is enabled, because header sizes are subtracted from a packet length field without validating the field is large enough, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds read of up to approximately 65KB.
To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to the fixed version when available.
