Lwip · Lwip · CVE-2020-22284
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
lwIP versions 2.1.2 and git head version
**Description**
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the `zepif linkoutput()` function allows attackers to access sensitive information via a crafted 6LoWPAN packet. The issue is related to the lack of input validation during buffer copying, enabling a remote attacker to exploit the vulnerability and gain access to confidential data.
**Recommendations**
For lwIP version 2.1.2, consider disabling the `zepif linkoutput()` function until a patch is available.
For lwIP git head version, consider disabling the `zepif linkoutput()` function until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of crafted 6LoWPAN packets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
