CWE ID 183
Summary
CVE-2023-7250 is a vulnerability affecting iperf, a popular network performance testing utility. Malicious or faulty iperf clients can send insufficient data to the server, causing it to hang indefinitely. This condition prevents the server from processing other connections, leading to a denial-of-service situation. The server remains hung, waiting for the remainder of the data that will never arrive, or until the connection is terminated. Network administrators are advised to update their iperf installations to mitigate this issue.
