iskorotkov/avro: Integer Overflow in Decoder
Details

Integer Overflow in Avro Decoder

Summary

Several Avro decoder paths read attacker-controlled 64-bit values from the wire format and either narrowed them to platform-sized int before bounds-checking, or summed them with overflow-prone signed-int arithmetic. On 32-bit targets (GOARCH=386, arm, mips, wasm, etc.), the truncation paths can silently bypass byte-slice limits, select the wrong union branch, or hit the OCF negative-make panic via wrap. Three sub-issues are not 32-bit-specific: cumulative-size arithmetic overflow in arrayDecoder.Decode / mapDecoder.Decode / mapDecoderUnmarshaler.Decode (wraps at math.MaxInt64 on amd64 / arm64 and bypasses MaxSliceAllocSize / MaxMapAllocSize), math.MinInt negation in block-header handling, and make([]byte, size) with a negative size in OCF block reads — all three panic or bypass caps on any platform, giving an attacker a denial-of-service primitive there.

Exploitation requires only an untrusted Avro stream. No primitives reach beyond denial-of-service on current code paths; see the union-index discussion below for a caveat.

Description

Six call sites in the decoder accepted int64 values from the Avro wire format and converted to int before validation. On a 32-bit build any wire value with magnitude ≥ 2³¹ truncates and the post-conversion value bears no useful relationship to the original. A value of (1<<32) + 5 narrows to 5; 1<<32 narrows to 0; values just past MaxInt32 narrow to large negatives.

This is distinct from the existing Config.MaxSliceAllocSize, Config.MaxByteSliceSize, and the new Config.MaxMapAllocSize limits, because narrowing happens before the limit comparison — the limit sees the truncated value, not the original wire value, so the cap is bypassed.

Three further sub-issues are not 32-bit-specific:

  • arrayDecoder.Decode, mapDecoder.Decode, and mapDecoderUnmarshaler.Decode summed attacker-controlled block lengths via size += int(l) and then checked size > limit. On amd64 / arm64 the running total wraps at math.MaxInt64; the post-wrap negative value passes the > limit check, and the decoder proceeds. Regression test: TestDecoder_ArrayMultiBlockExceedsMaxInt uses math.MaxInt − 2 for the second block's count and a MaxSliceAllocSize of 13 to demonstrate this on amd64. The Avro block-count field is a signed long on the wire, so block counts up to math.MaxInt64 are admissible — there is no implicit 2³¹ ceiling.
  • ReadBlockHeader() returns the absolute value of negative block lengths; the negation is unsafe for math.MinInt, which on every platform panics on overflow.
  • ocf/ocf.go readBlock() passes the decoded block size directly to make([]byte, size). A negative wire value panics on every platform; on 32-bit, values > MaxInt32 additionally panic via the narrowing path.

PR #9 (commit bed99b3) covered ReadBlockHeader, the cumulative checks in array/map codecs, and the skip helpers. The completeness pass (commit e1a570f) covered the union index, readBytes, and OCF readBlock, and added a 32-bit CI job.

Note: the typed-codec union decoder in codec_union.go (getUnionSchema → Reader.ReadInt) is not affected by the union-index narrowing — ReadInt returns int32, no narrowing occurs. The narrowing is specific to Reader.ReadNext in the generic decode path (reached via Unmarshal into any / map[string]any).

Technical details

  1. Block-header narrowing and MinInt negation. ReadBlockHeader() returned wire-format int64 values through narrower operations; on 32-bit, large positives truncated. Negating math.MinInt to convert a negative block-count signal into a positive size is undefined-on-overflow, and on every platform -MinInt panics on overflow when used in subsequent arithmetic. The fix reads into a *64-suffixed local, range-checks against MinInt32/MaxInt32 (or MinInt/MaxInt as appropriate), and narrows after validation.

  2. Cumulative array and map size overflow (all platforms). arrayDecoder.Decode, mapDecoder.Decode, and mapDecoderUnmarshaler.Decode summed attacker-controlled block lengths using overflow-prone addition; cumulative size could wrap before reaching the configured limit. On amd64 with MaxSliceAllocSize = 13, block 1 of 3 elements, block 2 of math.MaxInt − 2 elements: the pre-fix size += int(l) wraps to math.MinInt, then MinInt > 13 is false, so the check passes and the decoder proceeds. The fix uses subtraction-safe comparisons (l > limit - size rather than size + l > limit), which is overflow-immune.

  3. Skip-length truncation. SkipString, SkipBytes, and the OCF skip helper now route through SkipNBytesInt64(), which keeps the length as int64 and range-checks before any narrowing.

  4. Byte-slice length truncation. A wire-format length such as (1<<32) + 5 truncated to 5 in readBytes(), slipping past Config.MaxByteSliceSize on 32-bit. The fix reads the length as int64, compares against MaxByteSliceSize before narrowing, and returns "value is too big" if exceeded.

  5. Union index narrowing (generic decode path only). Reader.ReadNext decoded the union index as int64 and immediately cast to int. On 32-bit, 1<<32 narrowed to 0 and silently selected types[0] despite the explicit upper-bound check immediately above. If types[0] is the null branch (idiomatic for ["null", T] nullable unions), the practical result is a null value where the producer encoded a non-null payload — a DoS-grade logic error. If types[0] is a non-trivial schema, downstream bytes are parsed against the wrong schema and produce well-typed but semantically wrong values; treat this as the worst-case interpretation when assessing impact on your own deployment. The typed-codec union decoder (codec_union.go getUnionSchema → Reader.ReadInt) is not affected.

  6. OCF block-size narrowing and negative make. readBlock() passes the decoded int64 size directly to make([]byte, size). A negative wire value panics on every platform; a value > MaxInt32 additionally panics via the 32-bit narrowing path. The fix validates the size is in [0, MaxByteSliceSize] before narrowing.

Fixed behavior

Both commits apply the same pattern across every site:

  1. Read the wire value into an int64-typed local.
  2. Range-check upper and lower bounds before narrowing.
  3. Compare cumulative limits using subtraction-safe arithmetic.
  4. Route skip operations through SkipNBytesInt64().
  5. Return descriptive errors using the consistent "value is too big" / "value is too small" wording.
  6. Cast to int only after validation succeeds.

CI: a test-386 job runs the suite under GOARCH=386 with CGO_ENABLED=0 (-race is amd64/arm64-only). Three tests with untyped 2147483648 constants whose t.Skipf gates fire too late (the file fails to compile before any test runs) were split into sibling *_64bit_test.go files gated by //go:build amd64 || arm64 || ....

Affected versions

  • github.com/hamba/avro/v2 — all versions up to and including v2.31.0 (repository is read-only upstream).
  • github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2 — all versions prior to v2.33.0.

Fixed versions

github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2 v2.33.0 and later. There is no upstream fix for github.com/hamba/avro/v2 — module path is archived. Migrate to the fork as described under Mitigation.

Mitigation

Migrate from github.com/hamba/avro/v2 to github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2 >= v2.33.0. The packages share the same API surface; replace the import path and run go mod tidy:

- import "github.com/hamba/avro/v2"
+ import "github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2"

For consumers that prefer the original import path, a replace directive in go.mod is supported:

replace github.com/hamba/avro/v2 => github.com/iskorotkov/avro/v2 v2.33.0

replace is honoured only for the main module of a build — transitive consumers must add their own replace, or migrate the import path directly.

No further configuration is required to benefit from the integer-narrowing fixes — the validation runs on the existing decode path.

If you cannot upgrade immediately:

  • Do not decode untrusted Avro data on any platform — the cumulative-arithmetic overflow paths (arrayDecoder.Decode, mapDecoder.Decode, mapDecoderUnmarshaler.Decode) are reachable on amd64 / arm64. The truncation paths on 32-bit cannot be mitigated by setting Config.MaxByteSliceSize lower, because the truncated post-narrowing value is what the limit sees, not the original wire value.
  • For the cross-platform math.MinInt and OCF negative-size panic paths, wrapping Decode / OCF read calls in a goroutine with defer recover() contains the crash, but is not a substitute for upgrading. The other narrowing paths return errors rather than panicking, so recover() does nothing for them.
  • Isolate decoding workers so a crash is bounded.

Proof-of-concept inputs

  • A bytes or string length of (1<<32) + N for small N, which narrows to N on 32-bit and bypasses Config.MaxByteSliceSize.
  • A union index of 1<<32, which narrows to 0 on 32-bit and selects types[0] despite the upper-bound check.
  • An array or map encoded across multiple blocks whose cumulative element count wraps the signed int running total before the limit check fires. Demonstrated on amd64 by TestDecoder_ArrayMultiBlockExceedsMaxInt: MaxSliceAllocSize = 13, block 1 of 3, block 2 of math.MaxInt − 2. Wraps to math.MinInt, check passes, decoder proceeds.
  • A block header whose absolute value is math.MinInt, triggering the unsafe negation (cross-platform).
  • An OCF block size that is negative on the wire, causing make([]byte, size) to panic (cross-platform); or a positive value > MaxInt32 on 32-bit, same outcome via narrowing.

The truncation paths on 32-bit cannot be mitigated by setting `Config.MaxByteSliceSize` lower, because the truncated post-narrowing value is what the limit sees, not the original wire value.\n- For the cross-platform `math.MinInt` and OCF negative-size panic paths, wrapping `Decode` / OCF read calls in a goroutine with `defer recover()` contains the crash, but is not a substitute for upgrading. The other narrowing paths return errors rather than panicking, so `recover()` does nothing for them.\n- Isolate decoding workers so a crash is bounded.\n\n## Proof-of-concept inputs\n\n- A `bytes` or `string` length of `(1\u003c\u003c32) + N` for small `N`, which narrows to `N` on 32-bit and bypasses `Config.MaxByteSliceSize`.\n- A union index of `1\u003c\u003c32`, which narrows to `0` on 32-bit and selects `types[0]` despite the upper-bound check.\n- An array or map encoded across multiple blocks whose cumulative element count wraps the signed `int` running total before the limit check fires. Demonstrated on amd64 by `TestDecoder_ArrayMultiBlockExceedsMaxInt`: `MaxSliceAllocSize = 13`, block 1 of `3`, block 2 of `math.MaxInt \u2212 2`. Wraps to `math.MinInt`, check passes, decoder proceeds.\n- A block header whose absolute value is `math.MinInt`, triggering the unsafe negation (cross-platform).\n- An OCF block size that is negative on the wire, causing `make([]byte, size)` to panic (cross-platform); or a positive value `\u003e MaxInt32` on 32-bit, same outcome via narrowing.\n\n## References\n\n- Initial hardening PR: [iskorotkov/avro#9](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/pull/9)\n- Completeness pass PR: [iskorotkov/avro#10](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/pull/10)\n- Fix commits: [`bed99b3`](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/commit/bed99b315ec097a1a5eb7ae074ef57a91848c583), [`e1a570f`](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/commit/e1a570f9a8a4fe4b1bc2b4b1fb6d24e4a5f04358)\n- Release: [`v2.33.0`](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/releases/tag/v2.33.0)\n- Security policy: [`SECURITY.md`](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/blob/main/SECURITY.md)\n- Related advisories on this fork: [`GHSA-w8j3-pq8g-8m7w`](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/security/advisories/GHSA-w8j3-pq8g-8m7w) (CPU exhaustion \u2014 overlaps via the same large-block-count payload shape), [`GHSA-mx64-mj3q-7prj`](https://github.com/iskorotkov/avro/security/advisories/GHSA-mx64-mj3q-7prj) (unbounded map allocation)\n- Cross-module precedent on `hamba/avro`: [`GO-2023-1930`](https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2023-1930) / `CVE-2023-37475` / `GHSA-9x44-9pgq-cf45`\n- Upstream (read-only): [`hamba/avro`](https://github.com/hamba/avro)\n\n## Credits\n\n- **Discovery and initial fixes** (PR #9, commit `bed99b3` \u2014 `ReadBlockHeader`, cumulative array/map checks, skip helpers): Daniel B\u0142a\u017cewicz ([@klajok](https://github.com/klajok))\n- **Completeness fixes** (commit `e1a570f` \u2014 union index, `readBytes`, OCF `readBlock`, 32-bit CI coverage): Ivan Korotkov ([@iskorotkov](https://github.com/iskorotkov))\n\n## Timeline\n\n- **2026-05-04** \u2014 Initial integer-overflow hardening (PR #9, `bed99b3`) merged.\n- **2026-05-04** \u2014 Completeness pass (`e1a570f`) merged; 32-bit CI job added.\n- **2026-05-06** \u2014 `v2.33.0` tagged and released.\n- **2026-05-11** \u2014 Advisory published.\n- **2026-05-15** \u2014 Advisory revised.",
