CVE-2024-21453

Summary

CVE-2024-21453 refers to a Transient Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. This issue arises when a system attempts to decode a message of excessive size, leading to an out-of-memory condition. The decoding process is triggered by an input that exceeds the available system memory, resulting in a temporary DoS situation. This vulnerability can be exploited by sending large messages to the affected system, causing it to crash or become unresponsive until the memory is freed. It is recommended that organizations apply relevant patches or updates to prevent potential attacks.
