What is CVE-2019-3804?

A vulnerability in Cockpit prior to version 184 allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit the incorrect usage of glib's base64 decode functionality. By sending a specially crafted request with an invalid base64-encoded cookie, attackers can cause the web service to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
