PatchTheCVECVE-2024-32018: RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that supports a range of devices that are typically 8-bit
CVE-2024-32018 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.8) affecting riot. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that supports a range of devices that are typically 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. Most codebases define assertion macros which compile to a no-op on non-debug builds. If assertions are the only line of defense against untrusted input, the software may be exposed to attacks that leverage the lack of proper input checks. In detail, in the `nimble_scanlist_update()` function below, `l
