yawkat LZ4 Java: LZ4FrameInputStream reallocates block buffers for every frame, allowing CPU and GC amplification from small inputs

Summary LZ4FrameInputStream allocates two new buffers of the frame's maximum block size, up to 4 MiB each, every time it reads a frame header. Because concatenated frames are read by default, an input made of many minimal empty frames forces about 8 MiB of zeroed heap allocation for every 11 inpu...

CVE-2026-106450

Prior to version 1.11.4 , yawkat LZ4 Java is vulnerable to a resource exhaustion issue in the net.jpountz.lz4.LZ4FrameInputStream.readHeader() function. When processing a maximum-block-size frame header in the default concatenated-frame mode, the component allocates two new 4 MiB block buffers. A...

CVE-2026-106450 yawkat LZ4 Java: LZ4FrameInputStream reallocates block buffers for every frame, allowing CPU and GC amplification from small inputs

yawkat LZ4 Java provides LZ4 compression for Java. Prior to 1.11.4, net.jpountz.lz4.LZ4FrameInputStream readHeader allocates two new 4 MiB block buffers whenever a maximum-block-size frame header is read, and the default concatenated-frame mode allows attacker-controlled streams containing many...
