    CVE-2024-7254 (GCVE-0-2024-7254)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2024-09-19 00:18 – Updated: 2025-09-08 09:37
    VLAI
    Title
    Stack overflow in Protocol Buffers Java Lite
    Summary
    Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.

    CVE-2024-7254 (GCVE-0-2024-7254)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-09-19 00:18 – Updated: 2025-09-08 09:37
    VLAI
    Title
    Stack overflow in Protocol Buffers Java Lite
    Summary
    Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.
