Description
EDK2's Network Package is susceptible to an infinite loop vulnerability when parsing unknown options in the Destination Options header of IPv6. This
vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized
access and potentially lead to a loss of Availability.
A security loophole involving an infinite loop was identified in EDK2, the open-source reference implementation of the UEFI specification. This weakness enables an unauthorized attacker to exploit system availability by sending a specifically crafted Destination Options IPv6 header.
