Memory handling vulnerability in ProtocolBuffers Java core and lite
Summary
Memory handling vulnerability in ProtocolBuffers Java core and lite
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.
