Description
ESnet reports:
A malicious process can connect to an iperf3 server and,
by sending a malformed message on the control channel,
corrupt the server process's heap area. This can lead to a
crash (and a denial of service), or theoretically a remote
code execution as the user running the iperf3 server. A
malicious iperf3 server could potentially mount a similar
attack on an iperf3 client.
