The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling brotli decoding. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28182)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25629)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ares__read_line() function when parsing local configuration files, such as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, or `HOSTALIASES` file. A local user can insert a NULL character as the first character in a new line into one of the configuration files and crash the application.
