      "value": "Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 3.9.0 until 4.14.5 and 5.0.0-beta2, the Wazuh cluster protocol in framework/wazuh/core/cluster/common.py allows an authenticated cluster node to exhaust memory on the master. The receive_str() method accepts an attacker-controlled total for InBuffer without a maximum, so a new_str command can request a multi-gigabyte bytearray and repeated requests accumulate in in_str. The divided-message path also retains flag_divided fragments under unique counters in div_msg_box without a count, aggregate-size, or expiration limit. Exploitation can disrupt agent connectivity and alert processing across the monitored environment. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.5 and 5.0.0-beta2."

      "value": "Wazuh es una plataforma de código abierto y gratuita utilizada para la prevención, detección y respuesta a amenazas. Desde la versión 3.9.0 hasta la 4.14.5 y la 5.0.0-beta2, el protocolo de clúster de Wazuh en framework/wazuh/core/cluster/common.py permite que un nodo de clúster autenticado agote la memoria en el maestro. El método receive_str() acepta un total controlado por el atacante para InBuffer sin un máximo, por lo que un comando new_str puede solicitar un bytearray de varios gigabytes y las solicitudes repetidas se acumulan en in_str. La ruta de mensajes divididos también retiene fragmentos flag_divided bajo contadores únicos en div_msg_box sin un límite de conteo, tamaño agregado o expiración. La explotación puede interrumpir la conectividad del agente y el procesamiento de alertas en todo el entorno monitoreado. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 4.14.5 y 5.0.0-beta2."
