Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-789

Allowed

Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated.

437 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Summary
RabbitMQ Java client ValueReader: Oversized LongString/bytes length triggers OOM via unchecked allocation
Details

Summary

ValueReader.readBytes() allocates a byte array sized by a wire-declared content length without validating it against actual frame data. A malicious AMQP peer triggers OOM by declaring a ~2GB string/bytes field.

Vulnerable Code

src/main/java/com/rabbitmq/client/impl/ValueReader.java lines 83-95:

private static byte[] readBytes(final DataInputStream in) throws IOException {
    final long contentLength = unsignedExtend(in.readInt());
    if(contentLength < Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
        final byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)contentLength];  // allocates before reading
        in.readFully(buffer);
        return buffer;
    }
}

Attack Scenario

A malicious AMQP server sends a LongString field (type tag 'S') with declared length 0x7FFFFFFE (2,147,483,646). The check contentLength < Integer.MAX_VALUE passes. new byte[2147483646] attempts ~2GB allocation, causing OutOfMemoryError before readFully() attempts to read data.

The allocation size is attacker-controlled and is NOT validated against the frame size or TruncatedInputStream bounds. Exploitable pre-authentication via connection.start server-properties table.

Impact

Denial of service via JVM OutOfMemoryError. Crashes the entire JVM.

CWE

CWE-789: Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value

Remediation

Validate contentLength against the frame's remaining bytes or the negotiated max frame size (default 131,072) before allocating.

Severity
8.7 (High)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-04 20:47 – Updated: 2026-02-04 20:47

Summary
EVE Freely Allocates Buffer on The Stack With Data From Socket
Details

Impact

VTPM server listens on port 8877, exposing limited TPM functionality. The server reads 4 bytes as a uint32 size header, then allocates that amount on the stack for incoming data. This allows Denial of Service attacks against the vTPM service.

An workload (a container or VM) running on EVE-OS can use this to generate a DOS against the vTPM service.

Patches

Fixed in 9.4.3-lts and 10.1.0

Workarounds

None

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-05 09:31 – Updated: 2026-08-05 09:31
VLAI
Details

imagecli's scale <ratio> pipeline operation (Scale::apply() in src/image_ops.rs) computes output width/height as (dimension as f32 * ratio) as u32 with no upper-bound validation on the CLI-supplied ratio, which is parsed via nom::number::complete::float with no range check. A large ratio (e.g. 100000) causes an attempted allocation of hundreds of terabytes, aborting the process. Any application embedding imagecli as a library and accepting user-controlled pipeline strings is remotely crashable with a single request.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-30 12:31 – Updated: 2026-06-30 15:30
VLAI
Details

Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Client, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ All.

An unauthenticated network attacker can cause a broker DoS by sending a crafted WireFormatInfo frame with a malicious large size value. The value is not validate and causes the broker to attempt allocation during pre-auth negotiation which can trigger OOM and crash the broker. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Client: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.7 or 5.19.8, which fixes the issue.

Summary
Memory over-allocation in evm-core
Details

Prior to the patch, when executing specific EVM opcodes related to memory operations that use evm_core::Memory::copy_large, the crate can over-allocate memory when it is not needed, making it possible for an attacker to perform denial-of-service attack.

The flaw was corrected in commit 19ade85.

Mitigation
Implementation Architecture and Design

Perform adequate input validation against any value that influences the amount of memory that is allocated. Define an appropriate strategy for handling requests that exceed the limit, and consider supporting a configuration option so that the administrator can extend the amount of memory to be used if necessary.

Mitigation
Operation

Run your program using system-provided resource limits for memory. This might still cause the program to crash or exit, but the impact to the rest of the system will be minimized.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
