Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31808)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

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 cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an infinite loop in the ASF file type detection parser when parsing a crafted ASF input with a zero-size sub-header. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted 55-byte payload to cause a denial of service.

The issue can stall the Node.js event loop while processing untrusted or attacker-controlled input.
