VLAI
Details

An issue was discovered in Contiki-NG tinyDTLS through master branch 53a0d97. An infinite loop bug exists during the handling of a ClientHello handshake message. This bug allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a malformed ClientHello handshake message with an odd length of cipher suites, which triggers an infinite loop (consuming all resources) and a buffer over-read that can disclose sensitive information.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-08 18:31 – Updated: 2026-07-08 15:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/v3d: Reject empty multisync extension to prevent infinite loop

v3d_get_extensions() walks a userspace-provided singly-linked list of ioctl extensions without any bound on the chain length. A local user can craft a self-referential extension (ext->next == &ext) with zero in_sync_count and out_sync_count, which bypasses the existing duplicate- extension guard:

if (se->in_sync_count || se->out_sync_count)
        return -EINVAL;

The guard never fires because v3d_get_multisync_post_deps() returns immediately when count is zero, leaving both fields at zero on every iteration. The result is an infinite loop in kernel context, blocking the calling thread and pegging a CPU core indefinitely.

Fix this by rejecting a multisync extension where both in_sync_count and out_sync_count are zero in v3d_get_multisync_submit_deps(). An empty multisync carries no synchronization information and serves no useful purpose, so returning -EINVAL for such an extension is the correct defense against this attack vector.

Patches

The problem has been fixed in release v0.5.8.

Workarounds

Limit the size of the compressed file input to a reasonable size for your use case.

References

The standard library had recently the same issue and got the CVE-2020-16845 allocated.

Summary
nanoid: non-secure generators can loop indefinitely with negative size
Details

nanoid (Nano ID) before 5.1.16 contains an infinite loop in the customAlphabet and nanoid functions of its non-secure module (nanoid/non-secure). When these functions are given a negative size, the loop counter is decremented from a negative value and never reaches its termination condition, spinning indefinitely and hanging the calling thread. An application that passes an unvalidated, attacker-controlled negative size to these functions is exposed to a denial-of-service condition.

Summary
ORAS CLI: Cyclic Referrer Graph Can Cause Unbounded Recursion and Resource Consumption
Details

Summary

A malicious OCI registry can return a cyclic referrer graph (e.g. A -> A or A -> B -> A). The ORAS CLI's recursive referrer traversal does not track visited descriptors, so a cycle causes unbounded recursion and memory growth — a client-side denial of service.

This affects oras discover (recursive referrer traversal) and the recursive referrer counting used by oras backup and oras restore. Because oras discover --depth defaults to 0 (unlimited), discover is affected out of the box.

Note: This advisory covers only the ORAS CLI (oras.land/oras). The related Referrers API pagination loop in the oras-go library is tracked in a separate advisory on the oras-go repository.

Details

In oras discover, recursive referrer traversal follows discovered referrers without maintaining a visited-descriptor set.

Simplified flow:

runDiscover
  -> fetchAllReferrers(root)
     -> registry.Referrers(root)
     -> for each referrer:
          fetchAllReferrers(referrer)

A malicious registry can create cyclic graphs such as:

A -> A

or

A -> B -> A

Because traversal does not track previously visited descriptors, recursion never reaches a terminating condition.

Similarly, the recursive counting logic (graph.RecursiveFindReferrers, used by the backup and restore workflows) accumulates descriptors without cycle detection, causing unbounded memory growth.

PoC

Create valid descriptors where:

referrers(A) = [A]

or:

referrers(A) = [B]
referrers(B) = [A]

Run:

oras discover attacker.local/repo@sha256:<A>

The recursive traversal continues indefinitely, causing unbounded recursion and eventual resource exhaustion.

Impact

A malicious OCI registry can trigger client-side denial of service against ORAS CLI users and automation.

Potential impacts include:

  • Excessive CPU utilization
  • Excessive memory consumption
  • Unbounded recursion
  • Hung CI/CD jobs
  • Stalled automation pipelines
  • Failed backup or discovery operations

The issue does not enable arbitrary code execution, artifact substitution, or integrity bypass, but it can reliably prevent ORAS operations from completing when interacting with malicious registry metadata.

Patch

  • cmd/oras/root/discover.gofetchAllReferrers threads a visited digest set; an already-traversed descriptor returns immediately, breaking cycles. Behavior is unchanged for valid (acyclic) referrer graphs.
  • internal/graph/graph.goRecursiveFindReferrers tracks visited descriptors by digest and only recurses into unseen referrers, so traversal terminates on a cyclic graph.

The ORAS CLI\u0027s recursive referrer traversal does not track visited descriptors, so a cycle causes unbounded recursion and memory growth \u2014 a client-side denial of service.\n\nThis affects `oras discover` (recursive referrer traversal) and the recursive referrer counting used by `oras backup` and `oras restore`. Because `oras discover --depth` defaults to `0` (unlimited), `discover` is affected out of the box.\n\n\u003e **Note:** This advisory covers only the **ORAS CLI** (`oras.land/oras`).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:53 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:53
VLAI
Details

VMware ESXi (6.7, 6.5, 6.0), Workstation (15.x and 14.x) and Fusion (11.x and 10.x) contain a denial-of-service vulnerability due to an infinite loop in a 3D-rendering shader. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker with normal user privileges in the guest to make the VM unresponsive, and in some cases, possibly result other VMs on the host or the host itself becoming unresponsive.

Details

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.4 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.10, there is a NetScaler file parser infinite loop, triggered by a malformed capture file. This was addressed in wiretap/netscaler.c by validating record sizes.
