Incorrect interaction of the parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions in network.c in collectd 5.7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) of a collectd instance (configured with SecurityLevel None and with empty AuthFile options) via a crafted UDP packet.
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
