Zserio is a framework for serializing structured data with a compact and efficient way with low overhead. Prior to 2.18.1, in BitStreamReader.h readBytes() / readString(), the setBitPosition() bounds check receives the overflowed value and is completely bypassed. The code then reads len bytes (512 MB) from a buffer that is only a few bytes long, causing a segmentation fault. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.18.1.
AnalysisAI
Integer overflow in Zserio serialization framework versions before 2.18.1 enables remote denial of service via network-accessible deserialization endpoints. Attackers can send crafted serialized data that triggers arithmetic overflow in BitStreamReader's setBitPosition() bounds check, causing the parser to read 512 MB from a buffer only a few bytes long and crash the process with segmentation fault. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all applications and services using Zserio framework and identify those exposed to untrusted network input; document current Zserio versions in use. Within 7 days: implement network segmentation or input validation controls to restrict deserialization of untrusted Zserio data; consider disabling remote Zserio endpoints if operationally feasible. …
