Description Adam Mariš 2017-07-07 12:01:09 UTC 
Attributes of data type 'signed' would sometimes be created from uninitialized memory, instead of from the received packet. There is only one 'signed' attribute, which is in the WiMAX dictionaries, and it is used only in certain limited situations.

The security impact is minimal.

Affected versions: 3.0.0 through 3.0.14, inclusive.
