Version: 1.14.3+ds1-10
Severity: important

Control: found -1 1.14.3+ds1-5

Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ros-ros-comm.

CVE-2019-13465[0]:
| An issue was discovered in the ROS communications-related packages
| (aka ros_comm or ros-melodic-ros-comm) through 1.14.3. ROS_ASSERT_MSG
| only works when ROS_ASSERT_ENABLED is defined. This leads to a problem
| in the remove() function in clients/roscpp/src/libros/spinner.cpp.
| When ROS_ASSERT_ENABLED is not defined, the iterator loop will run out
| of the scope of the array, and cause denial of service for other
| components (that depend on the communication-related functions of this
| package).


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
