Summary
Django has an Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency
Details

An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.5 and 5.2 before 5.2.14. ASGI requests with a missing or understated Content-Length header can bypass the FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE limit, potentially loading large files into memory and causing service degradation.

As a reminder, Django expects a limit to be configured at the web server level rather than solely relying on FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected.

Django thanks Kyle Agronick for reporting this issue.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-12-12 09:30 – Updated: 2022-12-14 18:30
VLAI
Details

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Cisco Discovery Protocol functionality of Cisco ATA 190 Series Analog Telephone Adapter firmware could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause Cisco Discovery Protocol memory corruption on an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to missing length validation checks when processing Cisco Discovery Protocol messages. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an out-of-bounds read of the valid Cisco Discovery Protocol packet data, which could allow the attacker to cause corruption in the internal Cisco Discovery Protocol database of the affected device.

[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]

The directory and Rock Ridge / SUSP walk in libfsimage's iso9660 driver derives several lengths directly from attacker-controlled on-disk fields without validating them:

  • The directory loop itself assumes a good record length. This is CVE-2026-42494.

  • The calculation of the System Use area may underflow. This is CVE-2026-42495.

  • The Rock Ridge extension loop assumes a good (inner) record length. This is CVE-2026-62423.

  • The Rock Ridge NM record processing assumes a good entry length. This is CVE-2026-62424.

  • The Rock Ridge CE record processing assumes a good size and offset. This is CVE-2026-62425.

GHSA-WHR7-6788-JG2P

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-24 15:32 – Updated: 2026-06-01 06:30
VLAI
Details

When generating an ICMP Destination Unreachable or Packet Too Big response, the handler copies a portion of the original packet into the ICMP error body using the IP header's self-declared total length (ip_tot_len for IPv4, ip6_plen for IPv6) without validating it against the actual packet buffer size. A VM can send a short packet with an inflated IP length field that triggers an ICMP error (e.g., by hitting a reject ACL), causing ovn-controller to read heap memory beyond the valid packet data and include it in the ICMP response sent back to the VM.

Summary
Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency in Compress
Details

When reading a specially crafted TAR archive, Compress can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out of memory error even for very small inputs. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' tar package.

Severity

Mitigation
Implementation

When processing structured incoming data containing a size field followed by raw data, ensure that you identify and resolve any inconsistencies between the size field and the actual size of the data.

Mitigation
Implementation

Do not let the user control the size of the buffer.

Mitigation
Implementation

Validate that the length of the user-supplied data is consistent with the buffer size.

CAPEC-47: Buffer Overflow via Parameter Expansion

In this attack, the target software is given input that the adversary knows will be modified and expanded in size during processing. This attack relies on the target software failing to anticipate that the expanded data may exceed some internal limit, thereby creating a buffer overflow.
