CVE-2014-5508

Status: ModifiedLow (3.5)—

Multiple integer overflows in the HelpServ module (mod-helpserv.c) in srvx 1.3.1 allow remote authenticated IRCops or HelpServ bot managers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a large value in the EmptyInterval parameter or certain other interval configurations.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
