Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ganglia version 3.1.1

Description The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the process path function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending a request to the gmetad service with a long pathname. Additionally, there are multiple vulnerabilities in the gmetad package that can lead to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information, and these can be exploited remotely.

Recommendations For Ganglia version 3.1.1, consider disabling the process path function in the gmetad service as a temporary workaround to prevent exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
