description

Unfixed jackson-dataformat-protobuf releases can mishandle encoded lengths while parsing protobuf string or byte fields, allowing a remote attacker to trigger memory exhaustion and disrupt the JVM. Exploitation requires the application to parse attacker-controlled protobuf input; no authentication or user action is required beyond access to that input path.

mitigation

Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-protobuf to 2.18.12, 2.21.8, or 2.22.4, as appropriate for the maintained release line. Upgrade tools.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-protobuf to 3.1.8 or 3.2.4.

fixed in 2.22.4, 3.2.4, 3.1.8, 2.18.12, 2.21.8
