protobuf-java has a potential Denial of Service issue
medium severity CVE-2022-3171~> 3.16.3, ~> 3.19.6, ~> 3.20.3, >= 3.21.7
Summary
A potential Denial of Service issue in protobuf-java core and lite was
discovered in the parsing procedure for binary and text format data.
Input streams 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.
Reporter: OSS Fuzz
Affected versions: This issue affects both the Java full and lite Protobuf runtimes, as well as Protobuf for Kotlin and JRuby, which themselves use the Java Protobuf runtime.
