CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28709

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fox for #VU72427 (CVE-2023-24998).
