What is CVE-2019-8960?

A Denial of Service flaw exists in FlexNet Publisher's lmadmin.exe version 11.16.2, specifically within the message reading function. This can occur when an initial message is sent with a specific flag, prompting the function to recursively call itself without receiving a secondary message. Consequently, this behavior can cause the function to return an unexpected value, triggering an exception that results in the termination of the process.
