Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the network probe handling function when processing incoming probe requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to trigger a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation may require complex heap-spray techniques and could result in denial of service even if code execution is not achieved.
