Integer overflow in the recv_packet function in 0verkill 0.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a UDP packet with fewer than 12 bytes, which results in a long length value to the crc32 function.

Public exploits

Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.

Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
