Lifecycle Timeline
3Description PRE-NVD
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in Apache Thrift C++ THeaderTransport::untransform() allows remote code execution by sending specially crafted compressed data. Affects all versions prior to 0.24.0. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been reported at this time.
Technical ContextAI
Apache Thrift is an RPC framework enabling cross-language service development. The vulnerability resides in the C++ binding's THeaderTransport, specifically the untransform() method that handles ZLIB decompression. A heap buffer overflow (CWE-122) occurs due to improper validation of decompressed data size, allowing an attacker to overwrite adjacent heap memory. CPE data is unavailable, but the affected component is the C++ Thrift library linked into any service using THeaderTransport with ZLIB compression.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Apache Thrift 0.24.0 or later, which contains the fix. No workarounds are described; if immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to Thrift endpoints or disable ZLIB compression in THeaderTransport if feasible, noting this may break protocol negotiation with clients expecting compressed frames. Monitor the vendor advisory for any patch availability or further guidance.
