CVE-2020-25767 Information

Description

An issue was discovered in HCC Embedded NicheStack IPv4 4.1. The dnc_copy_in routine for parsing DNS domain names does not check whether a domain name compression pointer is pointing within the bounds of the packet (e.g. forward compression pointer jumps are allowed) which leads to an Out-of-bounds Read and a Denial-of-Service as a consequence.
