CVE-2024-7254 (GCVE-0-2024-7254)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2024-09-19 00:18 – Updated: 2025-09-08 09:37
VLAI
Title
Stack overflow in Protocol Buffers Java Lite
Summary
Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.

CVE-2022-3171 (GCVE-0-2022-3171)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2022-10-12 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-21 13:47
VLAI
Title
Memory handling vulnerability in ProtocolBuffers Java core and lite
Summary
A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.

CVE-2021-22569 (GCVE-0-2021-22569)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2022-01-07 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-21 13:57
VLAI
Title
Denial of Service of protobuf-java parsing procedure
Summary
An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the vulnerable versions.

CVE-2024-7254 (GCVE-0-2024-7254)

Title
Stack overflow in Protocol Buffers Java Lite
Summary
Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.

CVE-2022-3171 (GCVE-0-2022-3171)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-10-12 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-21 13:47

Title
Memory handling vulnerability in ProtocolBuffers Java core and lite
Summary
A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.

CVE-2021-22569 (GCVE-0-2021-22569)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-01-07 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-21 13:57
VLAI
Title
Denial of Service of protobuf-java parsing procedure
Summary
An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the vulnerable versions.
