What this means
FastNetMon versions 1.2.9 and earlier have a heap-use-after-free weakness, allowing an unauthenticated sender to crash the system. This occurs when the NetFlow/IPFIX template cache returns unlocked pointers on multi-port deployments. An attacker must reach both listener ports.

Read the full publisher description
FastNetMon is a high-performance DDoS detector and sensor. In version 1.2.9 and earlier, peer_find_template() in src/netflow_plugin/netflow_collector.cpp and src/netflow_plugin/netflow_v9_collector.cpp returns a pointer into global_netflow9_templates after releasing the cache mutex. On deployments with at least two entries in netflow_ports, concurrent template redefinition and data-flowset processing can let add_update_peer_template() reassign the template and free its records vector while another listener dereferences the escaped pointer. An unauthenticated sender that can reach both NetFlow/IPFIX listener ports can trigger a heap-use-after-free and reliably crash FastNetMon. No fixed release is available as of this review.
