CVE-2024-12777Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Tracking-server hang via timeout-free protocol probe

Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Mar 20, 2025

Denial of service in Aim 3.25.0 allows remote attackers to hang the tracking server through an unresponsive SSHFS socket. The SSHFS client's protocol_probe path performs synchronous requests.get calls to the supplied remote address without a timeout. An unauthenticated request that points the single-threaded server at a nonresponsive socket blocks other tracking requests for the duration of the connection wait.
