### Impact The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream. ### Patches XStream 1.4.20 handles the stack overflow and raises an InputManipulationException instead. ### Workarounds The only solution is to catch the StackOverflowError in the client code calling XStream. ### References See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStream's documentation for [CVE-2022-40151](https://x-stream.github.io/CVE-2022-40151.html). ### Credits The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Henry Lin of the Google OSS-Fuzz team. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [XStream](https://github.com/x-stream/xstream/issues) * Contact us at [XStream Google Group](https://groups.google.com/group/xstream-user)
The effectiveness of attacks largely depends on organizations' distributed denial-of-service defenses.
TP-Link TL-WR902AC devices through V3 0.9.1 allow remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by uploading a crafted firmware update because the signature check is inadequate.
The `parse` method of the JSON5 library before and including version `2.2.1` does not restrict parsing of keys named `__proto__`, allowing specially crafted strings to pollute the prototype of the resulting object. This vulnerability pollutes the prototype of the object returned by `JSON5.parse` and not the global Object prototype, which is the commonly understood definition of Prototype Pollution. However, polluting the prototype of a single object can have significant security impact for an application if the object is later used in trusted operations. ## Impact This vulnerability could allow an attacker to set arbitrary and unexpected keys on the object returned from `JSON5.parse`. The actual impact will depend on how applications utilize the returned object and how they filter unwanted keys, but could include denial of service, cross-site scripting, elevation of privilege, and in extreme cases, remote code execution. ## Mitigation This vulnerability is patched in json v2.2.2 and...
### Impact The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream. ### Patches XStream 1.4.20 handles the stack overflow and raises an InputManipulationException instead. ### Workarounds The attack uses the hash code implementation for collections and maps to force recursive hash calculation causing a stack overflow. Following types of the Java runtime are affected: - java.util.HashMap - java.util.HashSet - java.util.Hashtable - java.util.LinkedHashMap - java.util.LinkedHashSet - Other third party collection implementations that use their element's hash code may also be affected A simple solution is to catch the StackOverflowError in the client code calling XStream. If your object graph does not use referenced elements at all, you may simply set the NO_REFERENCE mode: ```Java XStream xstream = new XStream(); xstream.setMode(XStream.NO_REFERENCES); ``` I...
There is a denial of service vulnerability in the Wi-Fi module of the HUAWEI WS7100-20 Smart WiFi Router.Successful exploit could cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5306-1 - Several vulnerabilities were discovered in gerbv, a Gerber file viewer, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information disclosure if a specially crafted file is processed.
Due to unchecked type assertions, maliciously crafted messages can cause panics, which may be used as a denial of service vector.
Due to unchecked type assertions, maliciously crafted messages can cause panics, which may be used as a denial of service vector.
Due to unbounded alias chasing, a maliciously crafted YAML file can cause the system to consume significant system resources. If parsing user input, this may be used as a denial of service vector.
