Improper Input Validation in the NAT64 translator in The OpenThread Authors OpenThread before commit 26a882d on all platforms allows an attacker on the adjacent IPv4 network to inject corrupted IPv6 packets into the Thread mesh or bypass security checks via crafted IPv4 packets with options.
A memory leak in Openthread's wpantund versions up to commit 0e5d1601febb869f583e944785e5685c6c747be7, when used in an environment where wpanctl is directly interfacing with the control driver (eg: debug environments) can allow an attacker to crash the service (DoS). We recommend updating, or to restrict access in your debug environments.
OpenThread wpantund through 2021-07-02 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow because of an inconsistency in the integer data type for metriclen.
