Official description
OpENer 2.3.0 (master branch up to commit 76b95cf) is vulnerable to a severe memory corruption issue caused by an integer underflow in the processing of connected explicit messages (SendUnitData).
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
