OpenBSD ICMPV6 Packet Handling Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

OpenBSD is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

A remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges or to crash the affected computer. Successful exploits will result in a complete compromise of vulnerable computers or cause denial-of-service conditions.
