CVE-2021-26788
Oryx Embedded CycloneTCP 1.7.6 to 2.0.0, fixed in 2.0.2, is affected by incorrect input validation, which may cause a denial of service (DoS).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.22%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Oryx Embedded CycloneTCP 1.7.6 to 2.0.0, fixed in 2.0.2, is affected by incorrect input validation, which may cause a denial of service (DoS). To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to have TCP connectivity to the target system. Receiving a maliciously crafted TCP packet from an unauthenticated endpoint is sufficient to trigger the bug.
