Technical details
An off-by-one error in packet header processing allows an unauthenticated nearby attacker to trigger memory corruption by sending a packet with a specific header length. The vulnerability can cause the affected service to crash due to memory overwrite, requiring a restart. An adjacent attack vector is required, meaning the attacker must be on the local network or within wireless range.
