CVSS v3.1 |
| Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 before 7.4.1 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in the ElasticStore ConceptDescriptionInterpreter that only detects directly self-referencing concepts. Users with page-edit rights can create mutually referencing concept pages, causing concept page views, Special:Ask, or api.php action=ask queries to exhaust PHP memory or stack. |
| Operation on a resource after expiration or release in the Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) firmware could allow a malicious hypervisor to manipulate metadata pages potentially resulting in the loss of confidentiality and integrity of guest memory. |
| Operation on a resource after expiration or release in the AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) firmware could allow an attacker with administrative privileges to swap out a guest device without the guest's knowledge, potentially resulting in a loss of confidentiality and integrity. |
| Improper resource reuse in the AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) firmware could allow an attacker with hypervisor access to write to the Reverse Map Table (RMP) protected memory, potentially resulting in loss of guest memory integrity. |
| Photoshop Desktop is affected by an Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability that could result in an application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application, leading to a denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. |
| An issue in MongoDB Server's query processing component allows an authenticated user with read privileges to cause a denial of service. Uncontrolled recursion in an internal query compilation component can lead to stack exhaustion and server process termination when processing certain queries against time-series collections. |
| A vulnerability in Realtek's RtUsbA64.sys USB audio driver allows a physically present attacker using a maliciously crafted USB device to trigger unbounded recursion in the driver's topology-parsing logic during device enumeration. Processing the crafted descriptor exhausts the kernel stack and causes a system crash (bugcheck), resulting in a denial of service. No authenticated user session is required. |
| In Eclipse Kura versions 5.4.0 through 5.6.2, the Service Listing V1 REST API read the JSON body of every request into memory, with no limit on its size. The endpoints parse the body before they check whether the caller is authenticated. A remote attacker without valid credentials can therefore send a few dozen large JSON requests at the same time, exhaust the Java heap with an `OutOfMemoryError`, and cause a denial of service. Likewise, a remote attacker, can send a deeply nested JSON request and trigger a `StackOverflowError` because of an unbound recursion in Service Listing V1. |
| Perl versions from 5.9.4 before 5.41.9 produce incorrect regular expression match results when a stale failure flag ends the Aho-Corasick prescan early in S_find_byclass.
The prescan walks the subject for positions where the full pattern could match, and the engine tries it from the leftmost one recorded. A failing transition sets the failed flag, and a later successful transition does not clear it, so the prescan reads the stale flag as a failure and stops before it can record a candidate that starts earlier. It takes a subject where one candidate is recorded and a later character then forces a fallback through a fail link that succeeds.
Example:
"ABCDE" =~ m/ABCF|BCDE|C/; # matches C at offset 2, not BCDE
"ABCDE" =~ m/ABCF|BCDE|C(G)/; # no match, BCDE missed
An alternation like this can miss input it should match, or match it on the wrong branch, so an access or filtering decision made from the result can be wrong. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion
Ensure that epoll instances can never form a graph deeper than
EP_MAX_NESTS+1 links.
Currently, ep_loop_check_proc() ensures that the graph is loop-free and
does some recursion depth checks, but those recursion depth checks don't
limit the depth of the resulting tree for two reasons:
- They don't look upwards in the tree.
- If there are multiple downwards paths of different lengths, only one of
the paths is actually considered for the depth check since commit
28d82dc1c4ed ("epoll: limit paths").
Essentially, the current recursion depth check in ep_loop_check_proc() just
serves to prevent it from recursing too deeply while checking for loops.
A more thorough check is done in reverse_path_check() after the new graph
edge has already been created; this checks, among other things, that no
paths going upwards from any non-epoll file with a length of more than 5
edges exist. However, this check does not apply to non-epoll files.
As a result, it is possible to recurse to a depth of at least roughly 500,
tested on v6.15. (I am unsure if deeper recursion is possible; and this may
have changed with commit 8c44dac8add7 ("eventpoll: Fix priority inversion
problem").)
To fix it:
1. In ep_loop_check_proc(), note the subtree depth of each visited node,
and use subtree depths for the total depth calculation even when a subtree
has already been visited.
2. Add ep_get_upwards_depth_proc() for similarly determining the maximum
depth of an upwards walk.
3. In ep_loop_check(), use these values to limit the total path length
between epoll nodes to EP_MAX_NESTS edges. |
| Uncontrolled recursion in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| A flaw was found in libmodulemd. When parsing module metadata, the xmd field is converted into nested GVariant values through recursive YAML mapping and sequence helpers without a recursion-depth or node-count limit. An attacker who can supply crafted modulemd YAML with deeply nested xmd content can cause stack exhaustion or excessive resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service. |
| FFmpeg through 9.0.2 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in score_header() in libavcodec/flac_parser.c that allows attackers to exhaust the thread stack via crafted FLAC input. Attackers can supply a FLAC stream packed with many small valid-looking frame headers, forcing deep recursion that crashes the process during demuxing or parsing. |
| ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Prior to 2.9.15 and 3.0.17, msre_fn_removeComments_execute in apache2/re_tfns.c and inplace() in src/actions/transformations/remove_comments.cc implement t:removeComments by copying the character immediately after a comment terminator without re-evaluating it. Adjacent comments can therefore leave a later comment in the transformed value, allowing inline-comment obfuscation to bypass rules that depend on comment stripping. When a comment terminator is the final content, the same copy reads one byte beyond the input buffer. This issue is fixed in versions 2.9.15 and 3.0.17. |
| ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, a natural or attacker-influenced chain fork can leave stale Sapling and Orchard note-commitment subtree roots in Zebra state. In zebra-state/src/service/non_finalized_state/chain.rs, Chain::pop_tip removed a reverted tip block but did not remove subtree entries whose end_height belonged to that block, unlike the cleanup performed by pop_root. When the winning fork later finalized, the abandoned branch's stale subtree data could be written to RocksDB and survive node restarts. The corrupted history can cause z_getsubtreesbyindex consumers such as lightwalletd and light wallets to receive incorrect subtree roots, producing wallet synchronization failures or incorrect wallet state and requiring a full state rebuild for recovery. This issue is fixed in version 4.5.0. |
| plist.js (npm package 'plist') before 5.0.1 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the binary property-list parser (parseBinary) that allows unauthenticated attackers to crash a Node.js process by exploiting unmemoized recursive resolution of shared object references for arrays and dictionaries. Attackers can craft a small binary plist (under 200 bytes) containing chained self-referencing object indices to trigger exponential (2^N) resolution calls and memory growth, causing an unrecoverable out-of-memory crash and denial of service. |
| The Hickory DNS recursor in all versions of hickory-recursor and in hickory-resolver 0.26.0-beta.1 before 0.26.2 (recursor feature) is vulnerable to ghost domain names attacks because it reuses child-side apex NS RRsets cached from zone NS queries for iterative resolution. By repeatedly querying a zone's NS records, an attacker keeps the stale RRset cached indefinitely, letting name servers whose delegation the parent revoked keep answering for the zone. |
| SurrealDB before 3.3.0 contains an unbounded recursion vulnerability that allows authenticated users to abort the surreald process by triggering stack overflow on deeply nested values. Attackers can repeatedly run UPDATE statements wrapping a stored array in itself, then SELECT or EXPORT it, causing persistent denial of service for all tenants. |
| Scriban and Scriban.Signed before 7.5.3 contain uncontrolled recursion flaws in which postfix member, indexer, and call chains bypass ExpressionDepthLimit, array comparison lacks depth and cycle checks, and object.eval bypasses RecursiveLimit. Attackers who can supply templates can trigger an uncatchable StackOverflowException that terminates the host process. |
| A vulnerability was found in Undertow, where the chunked response hangs after the body was flushed. The response headers and body were sent but the client would continue waiting as Undertow does not send the expected 0\r\n termination of the chunked response. This results in uncontrolled resource consumption, leaving the server side to a denial of service attack. This happens only with Java 17 TLSv1.3 scenarios. |
