Description
A flaw was found in BusyBox. When the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) client requests a custom small block size and receives a standard response, it falls back to the default block size without resizing the allocated memory buffer. A malicious TFTP server can exploit this issue by sending standard-sized network packets during a transfer, causing a heap buffer overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the application.
