Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Underwrite (Buffer Underflow) via the GetAlertData function. An attacker can cause heap corruption or denial of service by injecting a specially crafted alert into the alerts log file monitored by wazuh-logcollector. This is only exploitable if an attacker has control over a compromised agent to inject malicious data into the monitored log file.
