7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
atftp version 0.7.git20120829-3.1+b1
Description:
The issue is related to a denial of service vulnerability in the atftpd daemon functionality. It can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted sequence of RRQ-Multicast requests, triggering an assert() call that results in a denial of service. An attacker can send malicious packets to trigger this issue.
Recommendations:
For atftp version 0.7.git20120829-3.1+b1, consider restricting access to the atftpd daemon functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
assert() function in the atftpd daemon until a fix is provided.Exploit
