Description

Improper Input Frame Validation in ieee802154 Processing. Zephyr versions >= v1.14.2, >= v2.2.0 contain Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121), Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122). For more information, see https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/security/advisories/GHSA-3gvq-h42f-v3c7

• CWE-121Stack-based Buffer OverflowA 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).
• CWE-122Heap-based Buffer OverflowA heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
• CWE-787Out-of-bounds WriteThe product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
