Title
Multiple DoS Attack Vectors in sflow packet handling
Summary
sflow decode package does not employ sufficient packet sanitisation which can lead to a denial of service attack. Attackers can craft malformed packets causing the process to consume large amounts of memory resulting in a denial of service.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
