Mtp-Target 1.2.2 may crash from crafted input

CVE-2005-1402 · published 21 years ago

Versions of Mtp-Target up to 1.2.2 use an older NeL library that mishandles certain numeric values. An attacker on the network can send specially crafted data that makes the server consume excessive memory or stop working completely.
