CVE-2021-41119 (GCVE-0-2021-41119)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-04-13 18:25 – Updated: 2025-04-22 18:16
VLAI?
Summary
Wire-server is the system server for the wire back-end services. Releases prior to v2022-03-01 are subject to a denial of service attack via a crafted object causing a hash collision. This collision causes the server to spend at least quadratic time parsing it which can lead to a denial of service for a heavily used server. The issue has been fixed in wire-server 2022-03-01 and is already deployed on all Wire managed services. On premise instances of wire-server need to be updated to 2022-03-01, so that their backends are no longer affected. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
