The process_ra function in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and crash) via unspecified vectors.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
