{"cve":"CVE-2026-10666","nvd":{"published":"2026-07-12T17:16:24.550","modified":"2026-10-24T22:10:00.210","status":"Analyzed","description":"parse_ipv4() in subsys/net/ip/utils.c (reached via net_ipaddr_parse() for strings of the form \"a.b.c.d:port\") copies the port substring into a fixed 17-byte stack buffer (char ipaddr[NET_IPV4_ADDR_LEN + 1]) using a length of str_len - end - 1, where str_len is the full, unbounded input length and end is only the (<=15-byte) offset of the ':' delimiter. Because the destination size is never consulted, a crafted address string with a long suffix after the colon (e.g. \"1.2.3.4:\" followed by hundreds of bytes) causes an out-of-bounds stack write whose length and contents are fully attacker-controlled (memcpy of the suffix plus a trailing NUL), enabling memory corruption and at minimum a denial of service, and potentially control-flow hijack. The parser is reached from the standard socket API (zsock_getaddrinfo / literal-address resolution), DNS server-string configuration, and the eswifi Wi-Fi co-processor DNS-response path, so an application that resolves a network-influenced address string is exposed. The bug was introduced when the parser was added (Zephyr v1.9.0) and shipped in all releases through v4.4.0. The fix removes the unbounded copy and validates the port length before copying into a small dedicated buffer. Note: the equivalent IPv6 \"[addr]:port\" path in parse_ipv6() retains the same unbounded copy at this commit and remains a separate, still-reachable instance of the defect.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-121"],"references":["https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commit/1c8d19a51f9a3c1be6de53854c8ad8c2720a0f48","https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commit/6e119a636a57be449ea21e73cad762ebc6f5ff7a","https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/security/advisories/GHSA-532c-7g7f-jhmh","https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/security/advisories/GHSA-532c-7g7f-jhmh"],"products":["zephyrproject:zephyr"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T17:50:06.907763985+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-10666","score":0.00654,"percentile":0.51045,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
