Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Off-by-one Error via the encrypt_rsa_message and decrypt_rsa_message functions in the iperf_auth.c file. An attacker can execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service, or potentially compromise data by sending specially crafted input that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
