Related CVEs CVE-2020-15166
It was discovered that ZeroMQ, a lightweight messaging kernel library does not properly handle connecting peers before a handshake is completed. A remote, unauthenticated client connecting to an application using the libzmq library, running with a socket listening with CURVE encryption/authentication enabled can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service affecting authenticated and encrypted clients.
For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.5+dfsg-2+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your zeromq3 packages.
