Descriptions

A parsing issue similar to CVE-2022-3171, but with textformat in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs 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. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.

Un problema de análisis similar a CVE-2022-3171, pero con formato de texto en las versiones core y lite de protobuf-java anteriores a 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 y 3.16.3 puede provocar un ataque de Denegación de Servicio (DoS). Las entradas que contienen múltiples instancias de mensajes incrustados no repetidos con campos repetidos o desconocidos hacen que los objetos se conviertan de un lado a otro entre formas mutables e inmutables, lo que resulta en pausas de recolección de basura potencialmente largas. Recomendamos actualizar a las versiones mencionadas anteriormente.

A flaw was found in Textformat in protobuf-java core that can lead to a denial of service. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields can cause objects to convert between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in long garbage collection pauses.
