Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service due to memory consumption. This is achieved by triggering various error conditions in the retrieve function, which prevents a lock from being released and causes a memory leak.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.2.0, update to version 2.2.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Spooler component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
