Descriptions

GDM 2.4.4.x before 2.4.4.4, and 2.4.1.x before 2.4.1.7, does not restrict the size of input, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).

GDM 2.4.4.x anteriores a 2.4.4.4 y 2.4.1.x anteriores a 2.4.1.7 no restringe el tamaño de la entrada, lo que permite a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (consumición de memoria).
