Descriptions

The _xrealloc function in xlsp_xmalloc.c in OpenSLP 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a large number of crafted packets, which triggers a memory allocation failure.

La función _xrealloc en xlsp_xmalloc.c en OpenSLP 2.0.0 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída) a través de un gran número de paquetes manipulados, lo que desencadena un fallo de asignación de memoria.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSLP, the worst of which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition or other unspecified impacts. Versions less than 2.0.0-r4 are affected.
