Summary
net-imap has quadratic complexity when reading response literals
Details

Summary

Net::IMAP::ResponseReader has quadratic time complexity when reading large responses containing many string literals. A hostile server can send responses which are crafted to exhaust the client's CPU for a denial of service attack.

Details

For each literal in a response, ResponseReader rescans the entire growing response buffer. The regular expression that is used to scan the response buffer runs in linear time. With many literals, this becomes O(n²) total work. The regular expression should run in constant time: it is anchored to the end and only the last 23 bytes of the buffer are relevant.

Because the algorithmic complexity is super-linear, this bypasses protection from max_response_size: a response can stay well below the default size limit while still causing very large CPU cost.

Net::IMAP::ResponseReader runs continuously in the receiver thread until the connection closes.

Impact

This consumes disproportionate CPU time in the client's receiver thread. A hostile server could use this to exhaust the client's CPU for a denial of service attack.

For a response near the default max_response_size, each individual regexp scan could take between 100 to 200ms on common modern hardware, and this may be repeated 200k times per megabyte of response. While the regexp is scanning, it retains the Global VM lock, preventing other threads from running.

Although other threads should not be completely blocked, their run time will be significantly impacted.

Mitigation

  • Upgrade to a patched version of net-imap that reads responses more efficiently.
  • Do not connect to untrusted IMAP servers.
  • When connecting to untrusted servers, a much smaller max_response_size (for example: 8KiB) will limit the impact. Although this is too small for fetching unpaginated message bodies, it should be enough for most other operations.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-07 02:59 – Updated: 2026-05-07 02:59

Summary
hickory-proto vulnerable to CPU exhaustion during message encoding due to O(n²) name compression
Details

During message encoding, hickory-proto's BinEncoder stores pointers to labels that are candidates for name compression in a Vec<(usize, Vec<u8>)>. The name compression logic then searches for matches with a linear scan.

A malicious message with many records can both introduce many candidate labels, and invoke this linear scan many times. This can amplify CPU exhaustion in DoS attacks.

This is similar to CVE-2024-8508.

Summary
Next.js: Denial of Service in the Image Optimization API using SVGs
Details

Impact

When self-hosting Next.js with the default image loader, the Image Optimization API can optimize remotely hosted images if configured (not enabled by default). If those images contain malicious content, they can cause CPU exhaustion in /_next/image endpoints.

  • If you are using config.images.remotePatterns, only the patterns in that array are impacted.
  • If you are using config.images.unoptimized: true, you are NOT impacted.
  • If you are using config.images.loader: 'custom', you are NOT impacted.
  • If you are using Vercel, you are NOT impacted.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade immediately, you can avoid the expensive work by setting config.experimental.imgOptSkipMetadata : true.

Advisory FAQ

How do I know if I am affected?

If you have a runtime or SDK with a version listed, or an affected package listed in affected software or affected packages, you're exposed to the vulnerability.

How do I fix the issue?

  • To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 8.0 or .NET 6.0. If you have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt you to update Visual Studio, which will also update your .NET SDKs.
  • .NET Framework-based applications and other application types need to perform a package update.
  • If you have .NET 6.0 or greater installed, you can list the versions you have installed by running the dotnet --info command. You will see output like the following;
.NET Core SDK (reflecting any global.json):


 Version:   8.0.200
 Commit:    8473146e7d

Runtime Environment:

 OS Name:     Windows
 OS Version:  10.0.18363
 OS Platform: Windows
 RID:         win10-x64
 Base Path:   C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.300\

Host (useful for support):

  Version: 8.0.3
  Commit:  8473146e7d

.NET Core SDKs installed:

  8.0.200 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

.NET Core runtimes installed:

  Microsoft.AspAspNetCore.App 8.0.3 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspAspNetCore.App]
  Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 8.0.3 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
  Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.3 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]


To install additional .NET Core runtimes or SDKs:
  https://aka.ms/dotnet-download
  • If you're using .NET 9.0, you should download and install .NET 9.0 RC 2 Runtime or .NET 9.0.100-rc.2.24474.11 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 latest Preview) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/9.0.
  • If you're using .NET 8.0, you should download and install .NET 8.0.10 Runtime or .NET 8.0.110 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.8) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/8.0.
  • If you're using .NET 6.0, you should download and install .NET 6.0.35 Runtime or .NET 6.0.135 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.6) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/6.0.

.NET 6.0 and .NET 8.0 updates are also available from Microsoft Update. To access this either type "Check for updates" in your Windows search, or open Settings, choose Update & Security and then click Check for Updates.

Once you have installed the updated runtime or SDK, restart your apps for the update to take effect.

Additionally, if you've deployed self-contained applications targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-25 00:00 – Updated: 2025-05-27 15:31
VLAI
Details

Knot Resolver before 5.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) because of algorithmic complexity. During an attack, an authoritative server must return large NS sets or address sets.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-18 16:17 – Updated: 2026-03-20 21:27
VLAI
Summary
pypdf has inefficient decoding of array-based streams
Details

Impact

An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes and/or large memory usage. This requires accessing an array-based stream with lots of entries.

Patches

This has been fixed in pypdf==6.9.1.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #3686.

Severity
5.1 (Medium)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-19 00:32 – Updated: 2025-07-19 00:32
VLAI
Details

The V8 release used in Node.js v24.0.0 has changed how string hashes are computed using rapidhash. This implementation re-introduces the HashDoS vulnerability as an attacker who can control the strings to be hashed can generate many hash collisions - an attacker can generate collisions even without knowing the hash-seed.

  • This vulnerability affects Node.js v24.x users.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-05 15:31 – Updated: 2026-06-05 14:33
VLAI
Summary
Django has a denial-of-service vulnerability in HttpResponseRedirect and HttpResponsePermanentRedirect on Windows
Details

An issue was discovered in 5.1 before 5.1.14, 4.2 before 4.2.26, and 5.2 before 5.2.8. NFKC normalization in Python is slow on Windows. As a consequence, django.http.HttpResponseRedirect, django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect, and the shortcut django.shortcuts.redirect were subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very large number of Unicode characters. 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 would like to thank Seokchan Yoon for reporting this issue.
