An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of
com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be
processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for
several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause
frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the
vulnerable versions.
