Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to read out-of-bounds memory or cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking and integer wraparound in the nfc_llcp_parse_gb_tlv() and nfc_llcp_parse_connection_tlv() functions when processing remote LLCP general bytes. A remote attacker can send malformed TLV data to trigger out-of-bounds reads or infinite parsing loops.
