Title: DB Hub Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
DB Hub is a open-source fork of the Open DC Hub application. It facilitates peer-to-peer networking using the Direct Connect protocol and is freely available for Linux and UNIX platforms.
A remote denial-of-service vulnerability affects the DB Hub application because of a memory-corruption flaw when it attempts to process specially crafted network traffic.
Specifically, this issue is due to a flaw in the 'clear_user_list()' function in the 'src/main.c' source file that leads to a memory-corruption issue when it attempts to process specially crafted Direct Connect commands.
An attacker may exploit this issue to crash affected applications, denying service to legitimate users.
DB Hub version 0.3 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- DB Hub DB Hub 0.3
