Title
Improper Input Validation in Metricbeat Leading to Denial of Service
Summary
Improper Validation of Array Index (CWE-129) exists in Metricbeat can allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service through Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153) via specially crafted, malformed payloads sent to the Graphite server metricset or Zookeeper server metricset. Additionally, Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) exists in the Prometheus helper module that can allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service through Input Data Manipulation (CAPEC-153) via specially crafted, malformed metric data.
