In odhcpd (the DHCPv6/DHCPv4/RA server used by OpenWrt) prior to version 25.12, the DHCPv6 IA response handler writes past a fixed 512-byte stack buffer (pdbuf) when a single DHCPv6 REQUEST carries enough IA options to nearly exhaust the reply space. Two independent overflow sites exist in the same call chain, both reachable over the network via a single unauthenticated UDP packet. odhcpd runs as root on OpenWrt, and embedded targets often lack stack canaries and ASLR, making code execution realistic.

In DJI CrystalSky ZS600C firmware v0.3.9.7 through v0.6.6.9, the Android Debug Bridge daemon (adbd) lacks authentication for a critical function. The device ships with ro.adb.secure=0 and USB ADB enabled by default; once ADB over TCP is enabled, the same unauthenticated shell (uid 2000) is reachable over the network. This provides a foothold for privilege escalation to root.
