FKIE_CVE-2025-30211

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-03-28 15:15 - Updated: 2025-11-03 20:18
Severity ?
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
Erlang/OTP is a set of libraries for the Erlang programming language. Prior to versions OTP-27.3.1, 26.2.5.10, and 25.3.2.19, a maliciously formed KEX init message can result with high memory usage. Implementation does not verify RFC specified limits on algorithm names (64 characters) provided in KEX init message. Big KEX init packet may lead to inefficient processing of the error data. As a result, large amount of memory will be allocated for processing malicious data. Versions OTP-27.3.1, OTP-26.2.5.10, and OTP-25.3.2.19 fix the issue. Some workarounds are available. One may set option `parallel_login` to `false` and/or reduce the `max_sessions` option.

Como resultado, se asignar\u00e1 una gran cantidad de memoria para procesar datos maliciosos. Las versiones OTP-27.3.1, OTP-26.2.5.10 y OTP-25.3.2.19 solucionan este problema.
