Title
OpenMcdf has an Infinite loop DoS via crafted CFB directory cycle
Summary
OpenMcdf is a fully .NET / C# library to manipulate Compound File Binary File Format files, also known as Structured Storage. Prior to version 3.1.3, OpenMcdf does not detect cycles in the directory entry red-black tree of a Compound File Binary (CFB) document. A crafted CFB file with a cycle in the LeftSiblingID / RightSiblingID chain causes Storage.EnumerateEntries() and Storage.OpenStream() to loop indefinitely, consuming the calling thread with no possibility of recovery via try/catch. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.3.
Severity
6.2 (Medium)
CWE
- CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
