A malicious process can connect to an iperf server and, by sending a malformed message on the control channel, corrupt the server process’s heap area. This can lead to a crash (and a denial of service), or theoretically a remote code execution as the user running the iperf server. A malicious iperf server could potentially mount a similar attack on an iperf client (CVE-2016-4303).
