5.0 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

The AuthenticationDialogue function in cfservd for Cfengine 2.0.0 to 2.1.7p1 does not properly check the return value of the ReceiveTransaction function, which leads to a failed malloc call and triggers to a null dereference, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

Affected configurations

• gnu cfengine 2.0.0 • gnu cfengine 2.0.1 • gnu cfengine 2.0.2 • gnu cfengine 2.0.3 • gnu cfengine 2.0.4 • gnu cfengine 2.0.5 • gnu cfengine 2.0.6 • gnu cfengine 2.0.7 • gnu cfengine 2.0.8 • gnu cfengine 2.1.0 • gnu cfengine 2.1.7
