Technical details

An out-of-bounds read exists in the iuup_rx_initialization() function in src/gsm/iuup.c due to incomplete input length validation marked as TODO in the code. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted IuUP initialization message to trigger the OOB read and disclose sensitive information from adjacent memory regions.
