CVE-2019-19451 - log back

CVE-2019-19451 edited at 15 Jun 2021 07:57:47
Severity	- Unknown + Low
Remote	- Unknown + Local
Type	- Unknown + Denial of service
Description	+ When GNOME Dia before 2019-11-27 is launched with a filename argument that is not a valid codepoint in the current encoding, it enters an endless loop, thus endlessly writing text to stdout. If this launch is from a thumbnailer service, this output will usually be written to disk via the system's logging facility (potentially with elevated privileges), thus filling up the disk and eventually rendering the system unusable. (The filename can be for a nonexistent file.)
