The cu_rrd_create_file function (src/utils_rrdcreate.c) in collectd 4.x before 4.9.4 and before 4.10.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure) via a packet with a timestamp whose value is 10 or less, as demonstrated by creating RRD files using the (1) RRDtool and (2) RRDCacheD plugins.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A remote actor may be able to crash collectd, disrupting monitoring data collection. The issue is triggered by a packet with a very small timestamp value when collectd creates RRD files. Business impact is monitoring blind spots, not confirmed data theft or code execution. Most relevant exposure is legacy collectd 4.x installations receiving remote collectd packets and using RRDtool or RRDCacheD-backed RRD creation. Current supported deployments are less likely affected, but legacy monitoring hosts should be checked. Address during legacy monitoring remediation, sooner if collectd is reachable from untrusted networks. The main business risk is loss of observability during incidents, not confirmed system takeover. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected collectd 4.x to 4.9.4, 4.10.2, or vendor-supported fixed packages.; Prioritize internet-facing or untrusted-network collectd listeners first.; Restrict collectd network access to trusted monitoring sources..
