El analizador CoAP es responsable de analizar los paquetes CoAP recibidos. La funci\u00f3n sn_coap_parser_options_parse() analiza el campo CoAP option number de todas las opciones presentes en el paquete de entrada. Cada n\u00famero de opci\u00f3n es calculado como una suma del n\u00famero de opci\u00f3n previo y un delta de la opci\u00f3n actual. El delta y el n\u00famero de opci\u00f3n anterior son expresados como enteros de 16 bits sin signo. Debido a la falta de detecci\u00f3n de desbordamiento, es posible crear un paquete que contenga el n\u00famero de opci\u00f3n y resulte en que el mismo n\u00famero de opci\u00f3n sea procesado nuevamente en un solo paquete. Determinadas opciones asignan memoria llamando a una funci\u00f3n de asignaci\u00f3n de memoria. En los casos de COAP_OPTION_URI_QUERY, COAP_OPTION_URI_PATH, COAP_OPTION_LOCATION_QUERY y COAP_OPTION_ETAG, no se comprueba si ya se ha asignado memoria, lo que en conjunto con el desbordamiento de enteros del n\u00famero de opci\u00f3n puede conllevar a m\u00faltiples asignaciones de memoria asignada a un \u00fanico puntero. Se ha demostrado que esto conlleva a una p\u00e9rdida de memoria mediante un hu\u00e9rfano de b\u00fafer.
