CVE-2024-4068 – Memory Exhaustion in braces

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-4068

The NPM package `braces`, versions prior to 3.0.3, fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. In `lib/parse.js,` if a malicious user sends "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash. El paquete NPM "braces" no limita la cantidad de caracteres que puede manejar, lo que podría provocar agotamiento de la memoria. En `lib/parse.js`, si un usuario malintencionado envía "imbalanced braces" como entrada, el análisis entrará en un bucle, lo que hará que el programa comience a asignar memoria de montón sin liberarla en ningún momento del bucle. • https://devhub.checkmarx.com/cve-details/CVE-2024-4068 https://github.com/micromatch/braces/commit/415d660c3002d1ab7e63dbf490c9851da80596ff https://github.com/micromatch/braces/issues/35 https://github.com/micromatch/braces/pull/37 https://github.com/micromatch/braces/pull/40 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-4068 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2280600 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption CWE-1050: Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop •
