Eclipse Tinydtls
Monthly
Out-of-bounds read in Eclipse tinydtls prior to commit b3efd41ad111a4920f599f51ffa4f5e9f1e72221 allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash memory-constrained IoT devices by sending a specially crafted Certificate handshake message during DTLS epoch 0. The vulnerable check_server_certificate() function omits buffer length validation before uint24 reads, memcmp, and memcpy operations, enabling reads beyond valid buffer boundaries on both client and server code paths. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; however, the unauthenticated, network-reachable nature makes this straightforward to trigger against any exposed tinydtls endpoint.
