If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the Forwarder output plugin and monitor for unusual large IPFIX data sets from unauthenticated sources.

Description

CESNET ipfixcol2 versions 2.3.0 up to but not including 2.9.0 contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the Forwarder output plugin. This flaw allows unauthenticated IPFIX exporters to overflow a heap buffer by wrapping 16-bit message length counters. Attackers can send large data sets and templates to a collector forwarding over TCP, causing crashes and potentially writing 2-byte values to attacker-controlled memory addresses.
