GHSA-6WF9-JMG9-VXCC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-08-25 14:48 – Updated: 2022-02-08 20:59
VLAI
Summary
XStream can cause a Denial of Service
Details
Impact
The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to allocate 100% CPU time on the target system depending on CPU type or parallel execution of such a payload resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.
Patches
XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.
Workarounds
See workarounds for the different versions covering all CVEs.
References
See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStream's documentation for CVE-2021-39140.
Credits
The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Lai Han of nsfocus security team.
