An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-31129 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: contiki-ng. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31129/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31129/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-31129","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31129/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-31129","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x29r-5qjg-75mq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Contiki-NG OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in Contiki-NG by sending crafted IPv6 Router Solicitation messages that trigger a NULL pointer dereference.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"contiki-ng","vendor":"contiki-ng"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"The Contiki-NG operating system versions 4.8 and prior can be triggered to dereference a NULL pointer in the message handling code for IPv6 router solicitiations. Contiki-NG contains an implementation of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) in the module `os/net/ipv6/uip-nd6.c`. The ND protocol includes a message type called Router Solicitation (RS), which is used to locate routers and update their address information via the SLLAO (Source Link-Layer Address Option). If the indicated source address changes, a given neighbor entry is set to the STALE state.\n\nThe message handler does not check for RS messages with an SLLAO that indicates a link-layer address change that a neighbor entry can actually be created for the indicated address. The resulting pointer is used without a check, leading to the dereference of a NULL pointer of type `uip_ds6_nbr_t`.\n\nThe problem has been patched in the `develop` branch of Contiki-NG, and will be included in the upcoming 4.9 release. As a workaround, users can apply Contiki-NG pull request #2271 to patch the problem directly.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Contiki-NG missing NULL pointer check in IPv6 neighbor discovery","id":"CVE-2023-31129","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Buffer Underwrite in ares_inet_net_pton()","id":"CVE-2023-31130"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"NextCloud Cookbook's pull-checks.yml workflow is vulnerable to OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-31128"},"products":["contiki-ng"],"published":"2023-05-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19417","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Contiki-NG has off-by-one error in Antelope DBMS","id":"CVE-2023-30546","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14935","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-8359","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-29","vendors":["contiki-ng"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in Contiki-NG by sending crafted IPv6 Router Solicitation messages that trigger a NULL pointer dereference.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31129/"}
