    (CVE-2019-11365)

    Denis Andzakovic discovered that atftpd did not properly lock the thread list mutex. An attacker could     send a large number of tftpd packets simultaneously when running atftpd in daemon mode to cause atftpd to     crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-11366)
