"Emilien Gaspar discovered that collectd, a statistics collection and
monitoring daemon, incorrectly processed incoming network packets.
This resulted in a heap overflow, allowing a remote attacker to either
cause a DoS via application crash, or potentially execute arbitrary
code.

Additionally, security researchers at Columbia University and the
University of Virginia discovered that collectd failed to verify a
return value during initialization. This meant the daemon could
sometimes be started without the desired, secure settings."
