DescriptionCVE.org

zstd-jni versions 1.4.8-4 through 1.5.7-13 fail to validate negative length parameters in ZstdInputStreamNoFinalizer.read(), allowing attackers to trigger infinite loops. Attackers can pass negative length values to cause the read method to spin indefinitely while holding the stream monitor, blocking all other threads from accessing the stream.

AnalysisAI

Infinite-loop denial of service in zstd-jni versions 1.4.8-4 through 1.5.7-13 allows thread starvation by passing negative length values to ZstdInputStreamNoFinalizer.read(). Because the method is declared synchronized, the spinning loop holds the stream monitor indefinitely, blocking every other thread that attempts to call any synchronized method on the same stream object. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must control or influence the len argument passed to the three-argument form of ZstdInputStreamNoFinalizer.read(byte[], int offset, int len) or the internal readInternal() method. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:L accurately captures a moderate, locally-triggered availability issue. … 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, which adds explicit len < 0 validation guards in both the public read() and internal readInternal() methods of ZstdInputStreamNoFinalizer, and analogous checks for srcPosition and srcSize in Zstd.java. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
