Description
A flaw was found in iperf3. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending a crafted control-channel message followed by a specific User Datagram Protocol (UDP) datagram to the server. This causes the UDP receive processing thread to enter an unrecoverable infinite loop, leading to sustained high CPU utilization and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
