Official description
In EmberZNet v9.0.2 and earlier, malformed OTA requests can drive the OTA server parser into out-of-bounds reads. A limited amount of data from RAM is read back to the requester. The size and location of this data is limited. These requests must come from a device that has already joined the network. Only devices supporting the OTA Server cluster may be impacted.

The underlying weakness: Out-of-bounds Read
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
