Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A flaw in Zephyr’s network stack allows an IPv4 packet containing ICMP type 128 to be misclassified as an ICMPv6 Echo Request. This results in an out-of-bounds memory read and creates a potential information-leak vulnerability in the networking subsystem.
