Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
zstd-jni before 1.5.7-14 fails to validate the samples buffer capacity in Zstd.trainFromBufferDirect, allowing attackers to read past buffer boundaries by supplying oversized per-sample lengths. Attackers can trigger out-of-bounds memory access by providing crafted sample length arrays that cause the native implementation to walk past the buffer allocation, resulting in JVM termination.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds memory access in zstd-jni versions 1.3.3-1 through 1.5.7-13 enables unauthenticated network-accessible attackers to crash the JVM by supplying crafted sample-size arrays to the Zstd.trainFromBufferDirect dictionary-training API. The native C implementation (jni_zdict.c) failed to sum caller-supplied sample lengths against the DirectBuffer's actual capacity before iterating, allowing the native code to walk past the buffer allocation boundary and trigger a hard JVM termination. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application calls Zstd.trainFromBufferDirect (or the underlying native trainFromBufferDirect0) with a sampleSizes array that is fully or partially controlled by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) reflects the severity of a remotely triggerable JVM crash with no authentication barrier. … 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; the patched release is available at https://github.com/luben/zstd-jni/releases/tag/v1.5.7-14 and is documented in security advisory GHSA-257p-3h6w-pg7h. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all applications and services running zstd-jni versions 1.3.3-1 through 1.5.7-13 and document network exposure. …
