CVE-2025-11616

A missing validation check in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP's ICMPv6 packet processing code can lead to an out-of-bounds read when receiving ICMPv6 packets of certain message types which are smaller than the expected size. These issues only affect applications using IPv6. Users should upgrade to the latest version and ensure any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

Summary		(es) Una comprobación de validación faltante en el código de procesamiento de paquetes ICMPv6 de FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP puede llevar a una lectura fuera de límites al recibir paquetes ICMPv6 de ciertos tipos de mensaje que son más pequeños que el tamaño esperado. Estos problemas solo afectan a las aplicaciones que utilizan IPv6. Los usuarios deben actualizarse a la última versión y asegurarse de que cualquier código bifurcado o derivado sea parcheado para incorporar las nuevas correcciones.
