8.2 HIGH

Network-reachable via applications forwarding untrusted parameters; no auth required at library boundary; JVM crash yields high availability impact; limited native heap read yields low confidentiality impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

zstd-jni versions before 1.5.7-14 fail to validate offset and length parameters in the ZstdDictCompress constructor, allowing out-of-bounds memory reads. Attackers can supply untrusted offset or length values to read native heap memory into the compression dictionary, typically causing JVM crashes.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in zstd-jni versions 1.2.0 through 1.5.7-13 allows attackers who can supply dictionary constructor parameters to crash the JVM and potentially read limited native heap memory. The ZstdDictCompress constructor passed unvalidated offset and length values directly to the C JNI layer, where out-of-range values cause the native code to read beyond the allocated Java heap array. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application passes attacker-controlled offset or length integer values to the ZstdDictCompress(byte[], int, int, int) or ZstdDictDecompress(byte[], int, int) constructors. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H) scores 8.8, modelling a scenario where attacker-supplied offset/length parameters reach the constructor over a network path without authentication. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade zstd-jni to version 1.5.7-14 or later, available at https://github.com/luben/zstd-jni/releases/tag/v1.5.7-14. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Java services using zstd-jni and document current versions and exposure to untrusted constructor inputs. …
