The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted network packets to determine whether a network port on another remote system is accessible and do basic network scanning using the victim’s machine.


Remediation

Update to version 5.3.4.4.
