CVE-2026-113782

HighCVSS 7.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In ESP-IDF from 5.2.0 until 5.2.8, 5.3.6, 5.4.5, 5.5.5, and 6.0.3, the OpenThread Border Router Neighbor Discovery packet handler trusts an attacker-controlled ICMPv6 option length while copying into a fixed stack buffer. A host on the same infrastructure link as the Border Router can send a crafted ICMPv6 Router Advertisement with an oversized length, causing an out-of-bounds write into adjacent stack memory.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can crash or reboot the device or corrupt adjacent stack state; only firmware with CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_BORDER_ROUTER=y is affected.

Recommendation

Update ESP-IDF to version 5.2.8, 5.3.6, 5.5.5, or 6.0.3 (and 5.4.5 when available) and restrict access to the Border Router infrastructure interface.

Original NVD description (English source)

ESP-IDF is the Espressif Internet of Things (IOT) Development Framework. From 5.2.0 until 5.2.8, 5.3.6, 5.4.5, 5.5.5, and 6.0.3, the OpenThread Border Router Neighbor Discovery packet handler trusts an attacker-controlled ICMPv6 option length while copying into a fixed stack buffer. A host on the same infrastructure link as the Border Router can send a crafted ICMPv6 Router Advertisement to its infrastructure interface whose oversized length causes an out-of-bounds write into adjacent stack memory. Firmware is affected only when CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_BORDER_ROUTER=y; Thread end devices, routers, and RCP firmware without the Border Router feature are unaffected. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction and can crash or reboot the device or corrupt adjacent stack state. This issue is fixed in versions 5.2.8, 5.3.6, 5.5.5, and 6.0.3 and is scheduled to be fixed in version 5.4.5.
