CVE-2021-38487: RTI Connext DDS Professional and Connext DDS Secure Network Amplification
First published: Thu May 05 2022(Updated: )
RTI Connext DDS Professional, Connext DDS Secure versions 4.2x to 6.1.0, and Connext DDS Micro versions 2.4 and later are vulnerable when an attacker sends a specially crafted packet to flood target devices with unwanted traffic. This may result in a denial-of-service condition and information exposure.
