Red Hat advisory

A flaw was found in iperf3. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the JSON_read() function, which accepts a peer-controlled message length and allocates memory without an upper bound. This allows the attacker to trigger excessive memory consumption, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) through memory exhaustion, severe slowdown, or termination of the iperf3 service.
