What is CVE-2019-13465?
CVE-2019-13465 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in n/a, published on 30 Dec 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered in the ROS communications-related packages (aka ros_comm or ros-melodic-ros-comm) through 1.14.3. ROS_ASSERT_MSG only works when ROS_ASSERT_ENABLED is defined. This leads to a problem in the remove() function in clients/roscpp/src/libros/spinner.cpp. When ROS_ASSERT_ENABLED is not defined, the iterator loop will run out of the scope of the array, and cause denial of service for other components (that depend on the communication-related functions of this package). NOTE: The reporter of this issue now believes it was a false alarm.
Which versions are affected by CVE-2019-13465?
