CVE-2020-24336 Information

Description

An issue was discovered in Contiki through 3.0 and Contiki-NG through 4.5. The code for parsing Type A domain name answers in ip64-dns64.c doesn’t verify whether the address in the answer’s length is sane. Therefore when copying an address of an arbitrary length a buffer overflow can occur. This bug can be exploited whenever NAT64 is enabled.
