Unknown · Freertos-Plus-Tcp · CVE-2026-7423
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP versions prior to V4.4.1
FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP versions prior to V4.2.6
**Description**
An integer underflow exists in the ICMP and ICMPv6 echo reply handlers when outgoing ping support is enabled. This occurs because header sizes are subtracted from a packet length field without verifying if the field is sufficiently large, leading to a heap out-of-bounds read of approximately 65KB. An adjacent network user can exploit this to cause a denial of service, resulting in a device crash.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade to version V4.4.1 or later.
Upgrade to version V4.2.6 or later.
