    CVE-2022-3171 (GCVE-0-2022-3171)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-10-12 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-21 13:47
    VLAI
    Title
    Memory handling vulnerability in ProtocolBuffers Java core and lite
    Summary
    A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.

We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above."
