This critical-severity CVE scores 9.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 2.2%, top 19% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. In versions prior to 24.10.6 and 25.12.1, the mdns daemon has a Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the match_ipv6_addresses function, triggered when processing PTR queries for IPv6 reverse DNS domains (.ip6.arpa) received via multicast DNS on UDP port 5353. During processing, the domain name from name_buffer is copied via strcpy into a fixed 256-byte stack buffer, and then the reverse IPv6 request is extracted into a buffer of only 46 bytes (INET6_ADDRSTRLEN). Because the length of the data is never validated before this extraction, an attacker can supply input larger than 46 bytes, causing an out-of-bounds write. This allows a specially crafted DNS query to overflow the stack buffer in match_ipv6_addresses, potentially enabling remote code execution. This issue has been fixed in versions 24.10.6 and 25.12.1.
