CVE-2026-55490

MEDIUM

OpenWrt: EAD Integer Underflow → Pre-Auth Denial of Service

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

OpenWrt is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Before v25.12.5, an integer underflow in handle_send_a() of the Emergency Access Daemon allows any unauthenticated attacker on the local network to crash the daemon by sending a single crafted UDP packet. The message length underflows before a bounds check and is then passed to memcpy as a very large size. This issue is fixed v25.12.5.
