Title
Multiple DoS Attack Vectors in sflow packet handling
Summary
sflow decode package does not employ sufficient packet sanitisation which can lead to a denial of service attack. Attackers can craft malformed packets causing the process to consume large amounts of memory resulting in a denial of service.
Severity
