CVE-2021-40523

Published Sep 5, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Contiki 3.0, Telnet option negotiation is mishandled. During negotiation between a server and a client, the server may fail to give the WILL/WONT or DO/DONT response for DO and WILL commands because of improper handling of exception condition, which leads to property violations and denial of service. Specifically, a server sometimes sends no response, because a fixed buffer space is available for all responses and that space may have been exhausted.
