CVE-2019-14850
A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in nbdkit 1.12.7, 1.14.1 and 1.15.1.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in nbdkit 1.12.7, 1.14.1 and 1.15.1. An attacker could connect to the nbdkit service and cause it to perform a large amount of work in initializing backend plugins, by simply opening a connection to the service. This vulnerability could cause resource consumption and degradation of service in nbdkit, depending on the plugins configured on the server-side.
