Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Double-Take versions 5.0.0.2865 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in daemon termination. This can be achieved through two methods:

1. by sending a large vector<T> value, which raises a "vector too long" exception,
2. or by sending a certain packet that raises an exception in the ospace/time/srcdate.cpp file.

Recommendations For Double-Take versions 5.0.0.2865 and earlier, consider restricting access to the service to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using large vector<T> values in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. Restrict the handling of certain packets that may raise exceptions in the ospace/time/srcdate.cpp file to prevent daemon termination.
