📋 Description

Impact

The sflow decode package prior to version 3.4.4 does not employ sufficient packet sanitisation which can lead to a denial of service attack. Attackers can craft malformed packets causing the process to consume huge amounts of memory resulting in a denial of service.

Specific Go Packages Affected

Patches

Version 3.4.4 contains patches fixing this.
