CVE-2023-33980

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Briar versions prior to 1.4.22

Description The issue allows attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in repeated application crashes, by sending a series of long messages to a contact. This is achieved through the Bramble Synchronisation Protocol (BSP) in Briar.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.22, update to version 1.4.22 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the length of incoming messages to prevent repeated application crashes.
