Summary
Silicon Labs EmberZNet 9.1.1 and earlier, from 0 through 9.1.1, is affected. A malformed Publish Billing Period command can cause a recursive function call that never reaches its end condition, leading to uncontrolled recursion (CWE-674). An attacker must already be a device joined to the network, and only devices supporting the Price Cluster are impacted, where the flaw can cause a denial of service.
