Affected packages

• PyPI keylime: < 7.4.0 → fixed in 7.4.0

Description

Impact Keylime `registrar` is prone to a simple denial of service attack in which an adversary opens a connection to the TLS port (by default, port `8891`) blocking further, legitimate connections. As long as the connection is open, the `registrar` is blocked and cannot serve any further clients (`agents` and `tenants`), which prevents normal operation. The problem does not affect the `verifier`. Patches Users should upgrade to release 7.4.0
