zstd-jni before 1.5.7-14 performs 32-bit signed bounds checks on three direct-ByteBuffer frame-size native methods, allowing out-of-bounds memory reads via negative or overflowing offsets. Attackers can supply negative offset values near Integer.MIN_VALUE to read unmapped memory, causing JVM termination or extracting arbitrary frame size data from unintended memory locations.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds memory reads in zstd-jni versions 1.1.1 through 1.5.7-13 allow unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the JVM or extract arbitrary frame-size data from unintended memory regions by supplying crafted Zstandard-compressed input with negative or integer-overflowing offset values. Three JNI native methods - findDirectByteBufferFrame, decompressedDirectByteBuffer, and getDirectByteBufferFrame - perform 32-bit signed bounds checks without first validating that src_offset or src_size are non-negative, allowing values near Integer.MIN_VALUE to pass the comparison and drive native code to read unmapped memory. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The application must invoke one of three specific direct-ByteBuffer JNI methods: findDirectByteBufferFrame, decompressedDirectByteBuffer (size query), or getDirectByteBufferFrame (count query) on input controlled by the attacker. … 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) reflects real-world risk accurately: network-reachable applications that accept and decompress zstd-compressed data using direct ByteBuffer APIs are exploitable without authentication or user interaction. … 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, confirmed at https://github.com/luben/zstd-jni/releases/tag/v1.5.7-14 with patches applied in commits d7a1c99322d5e1fc71932e722c0b5bb2fc525d3f and 46dcb2a54c8b8f2ce2cad7187a7513f509c533ac. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all applications and build systems using zstd-jni (check dependency manifests, build artifacts, and running JVM processes); assess whether vulnerable versions handle compressed data from untrusted network sources. …
