ExifReader is vulnerable to denial of service via unbounded decompression of image metadata

Impact Versions of ExifReader from 4.20.0 through 4.38.1 do not bound the size of decompressed metadata blocks. When a caller invokes the asynchronous API e.g. ExifReader.loadfile or ExifReader.loadbuffer, async: true on an attacker-supplied image, a small compressed chunk in the file can expand ...

Security Bulletin: Denial of Service in urllib3 via Unbounded Decompression of Redirect Responses

Summary urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once. urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on t...

Security Bulletin:urllib3 Unbounded Decompression Chain Enables Denial of Service

Summary urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 1.24 and prior to 2.6.0, the number of links in the decompression chain was unbounded allowing a malicious server to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps leading to high CPU usage and massiv...
