Remote system crash via IPv6 length underflow
Published Jun 7, 2026 · Updated Jun 7, 2026
Integer underflow in Inspect.sys in Comodo Internet Security 12.3.4.8162 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash Windows via IPv6 packets. The IPv6 parser subtracts each extension-header length from an attacker-controlled unsigned payload length without checking for wraparound. Unauthenticated network reachability to the host's IPv6 interface is sufficient because parsing precedes firewall rules; one crafted packet triggers a Windows kernel BSOD, with no reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
