The vulnerability involves an integer overflow in the RFC3164 parser utilized by One Identity's syslog-ng service. This flaw allows remote attackers to send crafted syslog input that is mishandled by the TCP or network functions, potentially leading to a denial of service condition. It affects several versions of syslog-ng, including the Premium Edition and Store Box, highlighting a critical need for timely security patches to mitigate risks.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
