**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability has a high impact on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can send specially crafted packets which could affect availability of the service and result in Denial of Service (DoS).

### Summary An unsafe reading of environment file could potentially cause a denial of service in Netty. When loaded on an Windows application, Netty attemps to load a file that does not exist. If an attacker creates such a large file, the Netty application crash. ### Details A similar issue was previously reported in https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-xq3w-v528-46rv This issue was fixed, but the fix was incomplete in that null-bytes were not counted against the input limit. ### PoC The PoC is the same as for https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-xq3w-v528-46rv with the detail that the file should only contain null-bytes; 0x00. When the null-bytes are encountered by the `InputStreamReader`, it will issue replacement characters in its charset decoding, which will fill up the line-buffer in the `BufferedReader.readLine()`, because the replacement character is not a line-break character. ### Impact Impact is the same as https://github.com/netty/ne...

### Summary There is a possibility for denial of service by memory exhaustion in `net-imap`'s response parser. At any time while the client is connected, a malicious server can send can send highly compressed `uid-set` data which is automatically read by the client's receiver thread. The response parser uses `Range#to_a` to convert the `uid-set` data into arrays of integers, with no limitation on the expanded size of the ranges. ### Details IMAP's `uid-set` and `sequence-set` formats can compress ranges of numbers, for example: `"1,2,3,4,5"` and `"1:5"` both represent the same set. When `Net::IMAP::ResponseParser` receives `APPENDUID` or `COPYUID` response codes, it expands each `uid-set` into an array of integers. On a 64 bit system, these arrays will expand to 8 bytes for each number in the set. A malicious IMAP server may send specially crafted `APPENDUID` or `COPYUID` responses with very large `uid-set` ranges. The `Net::IMAP` client parses each server response in a separat...

The ABB Cylon FLXeon BACnet controller is vulnerable to an authenticated JSON flooding attack, leading to uncontrolled resource consumption and a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The /api/serialConfig endpoint allows an authenticated attacker to abuse an unrestricted loop to create a large number of JSON objects by sending specially crafted requests through the ports JSON array. This results in excessive memory and CPU usage, causing resource exhaustion and potential service failure.

The ABB Cylon FLXeon BACnet controller is vulnerable to an unauthenticated WebSocket implementation that allows an attacker to execute the tcpdump command. This command captures network traffic and filters it on serial ports 4855 and 4851, which are relevant to the device's services. The vulnerability can be exploited in a loop to start multiple instances of tcpdump, leading to resource exhaustion, denial of service (DoS) conditions, and potential data exfiltration. The lack of authentication on the WebSocket interface allows unauthorized users to continuously spawn new tcpdump processes, amplifying the attack's impact.

A rate limiting issue in Sylius v2.0.2 allows a remote attacker to perform unrestricted brute-force attacks on user accounts, significantly increasing the risk of account compromise and denial of service for legitimate users.

Similarly to CVE-2024-34055, Apache James is vulnerable to denial of service through the abuse of IMAP literals from both authenticated and unauthenticated users, which could be used to cause unbounded memory allocation and very long computations Version 3.7.6 and 3.8.2 restrict such illegitimate use of IMAP literals.

Apache James server JMAP HTML to text plain implementation in versions below 3.8.2 and 3.7.6 is subject to unbounded memory consumption that can result in a denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.7.6 and 3.8.2, which fix this issue.

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

A security issue was found in Netplex Json-smart 2.5.0 through 2.5.1. When loading a specially crafted JSON input, containing a large number of ’{’, a stack exhaustion can be trigger, which could allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-1370.
