CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe MOOS core-moos versions up to 10.4.0 are vulnerable to a denial of service attack due to a blocking receive in the MOOSCommServer::ListenLoop() during the wire-protocol handshake. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by opening a TCP connection to the MOOSDB port and sending no data, which causes the server to block indefinitely and prevents any new client connections. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of service disruption.

Original NVD Description
MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in MOOSCommServer::ListenLoop() where the accept thread performs a blocking receive without timeout during the wire-protocol handshake. An attacker can open a TCP connection to the MOOSDB port and send no data, causing the accept thread to block indefinitely while holding the socket-list lock, preventing all subsequent client connections.
