1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30392)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer overflow error in Flow Processing Daemon (flowd). A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause Denial of Service (DoS).
