What is CVE-2018-6532?

The Icinga monitoring software is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows attackers to send specially crafted requests, both authenticated and unauthenticated. This can lead to excessive memory consumption on the server, prompting the server's Out of Memory (OOM) killer to trigger, potentially disrupting service and causing denial of service. This issue affects Icinga 2.x up to version 2.8.1, necessitating prompt attention from system administrators to patch vulnerabilities and secure their infrastructure.
