NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glusterfs package and not the glusterfs package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.12 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in the '__server_getspec' function via the 'gf_getspec_req' RPC message. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or other potential unspecified impact.
