Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Razor-agents, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An unspecified error in the preprocessing of certain HTML messages can be exploited to crash the application.
2) A bug in the discovery logic causes Razor-agents to go into an infinite loop and consume a large amount of memory when discovery fails.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions prior to 2.72.
Solution:
Update to version 2.72 or later.
Provided and/or discovered by:
1) Martin Blapp
2) Nick Leverton
