From dd8483a4beb6f61521d8b32c726523bbea21cd92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] network plugin: Fix heap overflow in parse_packet().
Emilien Gaspar has identified a heap overflow in parse_packet(), the
function used by the network plugin to parse incoming network packets.
This is a vulnerability in collectd, though the scope is not clear at
this point. At the very least specially crafted network packets can be
used to crash the daemon. We can't rule out a potential remote code
execution though.
Fixes: CVE-2016-6254
cherry picked from upstream commit b589096f
Upstream Status: Backport
