Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the nego_send_negotiation_request process when handling Server Redirection PDU messages containing attacker-controlled LoadBalanceInfo fields. An attacker can cause client crashes or achieve remote code execution by sending a specially crafted message with an arbitrary-length field that is written to a fixed-size buffer without validation.
