Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Checkmk versions prior to 2.5.0p14 Checkmk versions prior to 2.4.0p37 Checkmk versions prior to 2.3.0p51 Checkmk version 2.2.0
Description Improper handling of highly compressed data, known as data amplification, allows an attacker controlling a host registered for push mode to exhaust the memory of the agent receiver. This is achieved by sending a small zlib compressed payload that decompresses to an arbitrary size.
Recommendations Update to version 2.5.0p14 or later. Update to version 2.4.0p37 or later. Update to version 2.3.0p51 or later. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
