3.1 lowCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:LCVE-2021-3716
Low (3.1). EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A flaw was found in nbdkit due to to improperly caching plaintext state across the STARTTLS encryption boundary. A MitM attacker could use this flaw to inject a plaintext NBD_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY before proxying everything else a client sends to the server, potentially leading the client to terminate the NBD session. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
