What is CVE-2020-26164?

KDE Connect versions prior to 20.08.2 are susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability whereby an attacker on the local network can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted packets. This can lead to significant degradation in service performance, utilizing excessive amounts of CPU, memory, or network connection resources. As a result, systems running these vulnerable versions may face disruptions in connectivity and functionality, making it imperative for users to update to a secure version to mitigate potential risks.
