Official Description

The Treck TCP/IP stack before 6.0.1.66 allows Remote Code Execution, related to IPv4 tunneling.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerability arises from improper handling of IPv4 tunneling packets in the Treck TCP/IP stack. An attacker can send specially crafted packets to trigger remote code execution on the target system. This can lead to complete compromise of the affected device, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code with full privileges.

Exploitation Likelihood: HIGH
