{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2026-102714","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"`_nx_icmpv6_validate_options()` scans the option area with `while (length > 2)` (`common/src/nx_icmpv6_validate_options.c:79`). An area whose size leaves a one- or two-byte residue exits the loop with that tail unexamined; the residue is not negative, so the function returns `NX_SUCCESS`. Its zero-length rejection never sees those bytes.\n\n\n\nEvery consumer then re-walks the same area, reading a two-byte option header at the residue and subtracting `nx_icmpv6_option_length << 3` with no zero check and no remaining-length check. Three outcomes follow, selected by bytes the attacker controls.\n\n\n\n**Zero length byte.** The walker subtracts zero and advances zero. All four handlers loop forever — `_nx_icmpv6_process_ra` (`nx_icmpv6_process_ra.c:245, :528`), `_nx_icmpv6_process_ns` (`:251, :329`), `_nx_icmpv6_process_na` (`:147, :156`) and `_nx_icmpv6_process_redirect` (`:247, :350`). The walk runs in the IP thread, which is the highest-priority thread and does not yield inside the loop, so the system stops until a watchdog reset and the frame can be replayed after each one.\n\n\n\n**Non-zero length byte on a short residue.** The three unsigned counters underflow — `2 - 8` becomes `0xFFFFFFFA` — and the walk continues past the packet buffer, reading until it faults or meets a zero length byte and freezes. The Router Advertisement counter is signed and exits cleanly in this case.\n\n\n\n**One-byte residue.** The walker reads a two-byte option header, over-reading one byte.\n\n\n\nDuring a runaway walk, stray bytes parsing as a link-layer address option are copied into the neighbor cache (`nx_icmpv6_process_ns.c:280, :293`) and subsequently used as the destination MAC for frames to that neighbour, placing off-packet memory on the link. Confirmed by inspection, not reproduced.","dates":{"published":"2026-09-29T17:41:28.517Z","modified":"2026-09-29T18:43:50.148Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"CVE.org","score":7.1,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"NVD","score":7.1,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.00153,"percentile":0.04082,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":null,"baselineDate":null,"baselineScore":null},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":0.04082}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00153,"percentile":0.04082}]},"kev":{"state":"not-listed","entries":[],"listedCount":0,"totalCatalogs":3,"catalogs":[{"source":"cisa","label":"CISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"enisa","label":"ENISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"circl","label":"CIRCL","listed":false,"entry":null}]},"ransomware":{"state":"none-recorded","sources":[]},"exploits":[],"exploitCount":0,"weaknesses":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds
