NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream zeromq3 package and not the zeromq3 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

A flaw was found in the ZeroMQ server in versions before 4.3.3.

The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
