Stack-based Buffer Overflow

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow via the parsing of nested groups or series of SGROUP tags as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields. An attacker can cause infinite recursi...

CVE-2024-7254

CVE-2024-7254 describes a stack overflow DoS in parsers when handling untrusted Protocol Buffers data with deeply nested SGROUP/group structures. The root cause is unbounded recursion when parsing unknown fields (DiscardUnknownFieldsParser) or Java Protobuf Lite against nested groups or map field...

CVE-2024-7254

Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or...
