Which versions of Java are affected by CVE-2025-66566?

CVE-2025-66566 affects yawkat LZ4 Java library versions 1.10.0 and earlier, allowing attackers to extract sensitive data from memory buffers in applications that reuse decompression buffers without…. A patch is available.

How to fix or mitigate CVE-2025-66566?

Within 24 hours: Inventory all applications using lz4-java library and identify those running versions 1.10.0 or earlier; assess whether output buffers are reused without clearing. Within 7 days: Upgrade to lz4-java 1.10.1 or later for all affected applications, or implement buffer clearing logic if upgrade is not immediately feasible. Within 30 days: Validate all upgrades in production, conduct code review of custom decompression implementations to ensure proper buffer handling, and monitor for any exploitation attempts in application logs.

DescriptionNVD

yawkat LZ4 Java provides LZ4 compression for Java. Insufficient clearing of the output buffer in Java-based decompressor implementations in lz4-java 1.10.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read previous buffer contents via crafted compressed input. In applications where the output buffer is reused without being cleared, this may lead to disclosure of sensitive data. JNI-based implementations are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.1.

Analysis

Technical ContextAI

Information disclosure occurs when an application inadvertently reveals sensitive data to unauthorized actors through error messages, logs, or improper access controls.

RemediationAI

Implement proper access controls. Sanitize error messages in production. Review logging practices to avoid capturing sensitive data.
