Victoria Metrics and Node Problem Detector risk buffer overflow

published 10 days ago
Summary

The Victoria Metrics and Node Problem Detector components can write more data than expected into a memory area, which may cause the program to crash or be taken over by an attacker. This happens because the function that creates a text string does not verify how long the string is. Update to the latest versions of these packages or apply the provided patches to fix the issue.
