MediumMetricsAV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
open-iscsi (affected versions not specified)
Description
A flaw in the iscsiuio daemon allows a remote attacker on the same local network segment to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). By sending a specially crafted Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) Router Advertisement containing a zero-length option, an attacker can trigger an infinite loop. This results in sustained CPU usage, making the daemon unresponsive and impacting system availability. Additionally, a risk of out-of-bounds reads exists when processing a short IPv6 payload, although no memory corruption or data exposure has been confirmed.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
