Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-789

Allowed

Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft

The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated.

511 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Summary
amphp/http-client Denial of Service via HTTP/2 CONTINUATION Frames
Details

Early versions of amphp/http-client with HTTP/2 support (v4.0.0-rc10 to 4.0.0) will collect HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames in an unbounded buffer and will not check the header size limit until it has received the END_HEADERS flag, resulting in an OOM crash. Later versions of amphp/http-client (v4.1.0-rc1 and up) depend on amphp/http for HTTP/2 processing and will therefore need an updated version of amphp/http, see GHSA-qjfw-cvjf-f4fm.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-08 19:22 – Updated: 2026-04-09 14:29

Summary
opentelemetry-go: OTLP HTTP exporters read unbounded HTTP response bodies
Details

overview: this report shows that the otlp HTTP exporters (traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap.

this is exploitable for memory exhaustion when the configured collector endpoint is attacker-controlled (or a network attacker can mitm the exporter connection).

severity

HIGH

not claiming: this is a remote dos against every default deployment. claiming: if the exporter sends traces to an untrusted collector endpoint (or over a network segment where mitm is realistic), that endpoint can crash the process via a large response body.

callsite (pinned): - exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp/client.go:199 - exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp/client.go:230 - exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp/client.go:170 - exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp/client.go:201 - exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp/client.go:190 - exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp/client.go:221

permalinks (pinned): - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/248da958375e4dfb4a1105645107be3ef04b1c59/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp/client.go#L199 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/248da958375e4dfb4a1105645107be3ef04b1c59/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp/client.go#L230 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/248da958375e4dfb4a1105645107be3ef04b1c59/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp/client.go#L170 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/248da958375e4dfb4a1105645107be3ef04b1c59/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp/client.go#L201 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/248da958375e4dfb4a1105645107be3ef04b1c59/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp/client.go#L190 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/248da958375e4dfb4a1105645107be3ef04b1c59/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp/client.go#L221

root cause: each exporter client reads resp.Body using io.Copy(&respData, resp.Body) into a bytes.Buffer on both success and error paths, with no upper bound.

impact: a malicious collector can force large transient heap allocations during export (peak memory scales with attacker-chosen response size) and can potentially crash the instrumented process (oom).

affected component: - go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp - go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlpmetric/otlpmetrichttp - go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploghttp

repro (local-only):

unzip poc.zip -d poc
cd poc
make canonical resp_bytes=33554432 chunk_delay_ms=0

expected output contains:

[CALLSITE_HIT]: otlptracehttp.UploadTraces::io.Copy(resp.Body)
[PROOF_MARKER]: resp_bytes=33554432 peak_alloc_bytes=118050512

control (same env, patched target):

unzip poc.zip -d poc
cd poc
make control resp_bytes=33554432 chunk_delay_ms=0

expected control output contains:

[CALLSITE_HIT]: otlptracehttp.UploadTraces::io.Copy(resp.Body)
[NC_MARKER]: resp_bytes=33554432 peak_alloc_bytes=512232

Summary
devalue: Sparse arrays emitted by uneval cause eager allocation when evaluated
Details

Evaluating legitimate uneval output for a sparse array can allocate memory proportional to its declared length. A tiny serialized value can therefore cause large memory allocation in a consuming browser/runtime. This occurs during evaluation of generated code, not in default parse sparse-array construction.

You would only be affected by this if you were serializing very large sparse arrays and then evaluating the results. In the general use case for uneval of sending data to the client, the worst that could happen is the browser tab running out of memory.

VLAI
Summary
td has pre-auth denial of service via unbounded memory allocation in proto.UnencryptedMessage.Decode
Details

Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker can cause excessive memory allocation (and resulting CPU / GC pressure, potentially OOM termination) by sending a crafted unencrypted MTProto packet.

(*proto.UnencryptedMessage).Decode read an attacker-controlled 32-bit dataLen field and immediately allocated a buffer of that size via make([]byte, dataLen) before validating that the underlying buffer actually contained that many bytes. A 20-byte packet declaring a ~1.75 GB payload (e.g. dataLen = 0x70000000) forces the runtime to provision and zero-initialize a multi-gigabyte heap allocation before the length is rejected.

Unencrypted messages are part of the unauthenticated MTProto handshake path, so no credentials or established session are required to reach the vulnerable code.

Impact is limited to availability; there is no evidence of memory corruption, out-of-bounds access, or code execution.

Patches

Fixed in v0.145.1 by validating dataLen against the remaining buffer length before allocation (commit 9d5d1f31e).

Workarounds

Upgrade to v0.145.1 or later. There is no in-process workaround for affected versions short of avoiding exposure of the unauthenticated MTProto parsing path to untrusted peers.

Summary
Apache ActiveMQ: Unchecked buffer length can cause excessive memory allocation
Details

Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ.

During unmarshalling of OpenWire commands the size value of buffers was not properly validated which could lead to excessive memory allocation and be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS) by depleting process memory, thereby affecting applications and services that rely on the availability of the ActiveMQ broker when not using mutual TLS connections. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.1.6, from 5.18.0 before 5.18.7, from 5.17.0 before 5.17.7, before 5.16.8. ActiveMQ 5.19.0 is not affected.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.6+, 5.19.0+, 5.18.7+, 5.17.7, or 5.16.8 or which fixes the issue.

Existing users may implement mutual TLS to mitigate the risk on affected brokers.

Details

A pre-authentication attacker could leverage type size/count handling to cause excessive allocation leading to potential denial of service.

This issue affects Apache Qpid Proton-J: through 0.34.1.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.35.0, which fixes the issue.

GHSA-WV4V-8JH9-247V

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-13 21:36 – Updated: 2026-08-13 21:36
VLAI
Details

Elasticsearch does not validate a size value taken from a user-supplied input before that value is used to reserve memory for an internal data structure. An authenticated user holding only read privileges can submit a single small crafted request to a product API endpoint that causes the node to attempt an excessively large allocation. The resulting memory exhaustion raises a fatal error that terminates the Elasticsearch node process, causing a denial of service for the affected node and degrading cluster health. The defect is not volumetric, so a single request is sufficient regardless of the heap size configured on the target node.

Mitigation
Implementation Architecture and Design

Perform adequate input validation against any value that influences the amount of memory that is allocated. Define an appropriate strategy for handling requests that exceed the limit, and consider supporting a configuration option so that the administrator can extend the amount of memory to be used if necessary.

Mitigation
Operation

Run your program using system-provided resource limits for memory. This might still cause the program to crash or exit, but the impact to the rest of the system will be minimized.
