Possible buffer overflow in ismountpoint
dnsunpackname() caches the buffer tailroom once and reuses it while appending DNS labels. As the buffer grows, the cached size becomes incorrect, and the final null terminator can be written past the buffer. With assertions disabled (default), a malicious DNS response can trigger an out-of-bounds write when CONFIGDNSRESOLVER is enabled.
A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger memory corruption in Zephyr's HTTP server WebSocket upgrade path by sending a crafted Sec-WebSocket-Key header. The HTTP/1 header parser copies the header into a fixed-size buffer using a bounded copy that does not guarantee NUL termination when the input length reaches the buffer size. During upgrade handling the buffer is copied to a local stack buffer and passed to strlen(); if no NUL exists in-bounds, strlen() reads beyond the stack buffer and subsequent concatenation with the WebSocket magic string can write out of bounds. This leads to out-of-bounds read and write on stack memory, resulting in crash (denial of service) and potentially code execution. The path is reachable when CONFIGHTTPSERVERWEBSOCKET is enabled.
parseipv4() in subsys/net/ip/utils.c (reached via netipaddrparse() for strings of the form "a.b.c.d:port") copies the port substring into a fixed 17-byte stack buffer (char ipaddr[NETIPV4ADDRLEN + 1]) using a length of strlen - end - 1, where strlen is the full, unbounded input length and end is only the (<=15-byte) offset of the ':' delimiter. Because the destination size is never consulted, a crafted address string with a long suffix after the colon (e.g. "1.2.3.4:" followed by hundreds of bytes) causes an out-of-bounds stack write whose length and contents are fully attacker-controlled (memcpy of the suffix plus a trailing NUL), enabling memory corruption and at minimum a denial of service, and potentially control-flow hijack. The parser is reached from the standard socket API (zsockgetaddrinfo / literal-address resolution), DNS server-string configuration, and the eswifi Wi-Fi co-processor DNS-response path, so an application that resolves a network-influenced address string is exposed. The bug was introduced when the parser was added (Zephyr v1.9.0) and shipped in all releases through v4.4.0. The fix removes the unbounded copy and validates the port length before copying into a small dedicated buffer. Note: the equivalent IPv6 "[addr]:port" path in parseipv6() retains the same unbounded copy at this commit and remains a separate, still-reachable instance of the defect.
Potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the Zephyr CAN bus subsystem
Unchecked user input length in /subsys/net/l2/wifi/wifishell.c can cause buffer overflows.
zephyr-rtos version 1.12.0 contains a NULL base pointer reference vulnerability in sysringbufput(), sysringbufget() that can result in CPU Page Fault (error code 0x00000010). This attack appear to be exploitable via a malicious application call the vulnerable kernel APIs (system sysringbufget() and sysringbufput).

When the Global Pointer (GP) relative addressing is enabled (CONFIGRISCVGP=y), the gp reg points at 0x800 bytes past the start of the .sdata section which is then used by the linker to relax accesses to global symbols.
