Insufficient validation of the prefix length field in IPv6 Router Advertisement processing in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP before V4.2.6 and V4.4.1 allows an adjacent network actor to cause memory corruption by sending a crafted Router Advertisement with a prefix length value exceeding the maximum valid length, resulting in a heap buffer overflow. Users processing IPv4 RA only are not impacted. To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to the fixed version when available.
