Dräger Core and M540 Converter Service are vulnerable to denial of service via malformed SDC messages, leading to high CPU load and unresponsiveness.
Vulnerability
Dräger Core version 1.0.5 and Dräger M540 Converter Service version 1.0.9 are affected by a denial of service vulnerability. This flaw exists within the discovery process and can be triggered by sending specially crafted, unencrypted SDC messages.
