"When processing authentication attempts for control-plane users, mcpd
leaks a small amount of memory. Under rare conditions, attackers with
access to the management interface can eventually deplete memory on
the system. (CVE-2019-6647)

Impact

Repeated failed authentication attempts progressively increase memory
usage, potentially leading to a fail-over event when memory is
exhausted. The rate of memory use increase is small, but an attack at
scale may trigger low-memory conditions eventually depleting memory
and affecting the operation of the Traffic Management Microkernel
(TMM) and other components."
