CWE
  • CWE-940 - Improper verification of source of a communication channel
Summary
Improper verification of the source of a communication channel in the IPv6 Router Advertisement handler in Amazon FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP before V4.4.2 might allow a remote third-party to influence an endpoint's IPv6 default gateway, on-link prefix, and address configuration via a crafted Router Advertisement. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version V4.4.2.
