Description

Insufficient packet validation in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP before V4.2.6 and V4.4.1 allows an adjacent network actor to bypass all checksum and minimum-size validation by spoofing the Ethernet source MAC address to match one of the device&#39;s own registered endpoints, because the loopback detection mechanism skips all input validation for packets whose source MAC matches a local endpoint.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to the fixed version when available.
