CVE-2024-8391 – Eclipse Vert.x gRPC server does not limit the maximum message size

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-8391

In Eclipse Vert.x version 4.3.0 to 4.5.9, the gRPC server does not limit the maximum length of message payload (Maven GAV: io.vertx:vertx-grpc-server and io.vertx:vertx-grpc-client).  This is fixed in the 4.5.10 version.  Note this does not affect the Vert.x gRPC server based grpc-java and Netty libraries (Maven GAV: io.vertx:vertx-grpc) A flaw was found in the gRPC server in Eclipse Vert.x, which does not limit the maximum length of the message payload. This may lead to excessive memory consumption in a server or a client, causing a denial of service. • https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vertx-grpc/issues/113 https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignement/-/issues/31 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-8391 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2309758 • CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling •
