It was discovered that there was an infinite loop vulnerability in collectd, a statistics collection and monitoring daemon.
When a correct ‘Signature part’ is received by an instance configured without the AuthFile option, an endless loop occurs in the parse_packet routine due to a missing pointer increment to the next unprocessed part.
For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in collectd version 5.1.0-3+deb7u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your collectd packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
