CVE-2026-49868
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-p3fx-9qcg-jmcf ↗EUVD-2026-102947 ↗
description
RIOT versions before 2026.07 mishandle certain DHCPv6 reply option lengths in the DHCPv6 client. A malicious or compromised DHCPv6 server can cause affected devices to crash and may be able to expose or corrupt memory when IA_PD support is enabled.
mitigation
Upgrade RIOT to version 2026.07 or later. Where an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the affected DHCPv6 IA_PD client functionality and restrict access to trusted DHCPv6 servers.
