Short explanation
A vulnerability in isomorphic-git allows attackers to trigger unbounded memory allocation via packfile delta target size, leading to a DoS condition.
This vulnerability can cause containers, serverless functions, and small virtual machines to terminate, resulting in service disruption.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor advisories
- Keep versions updated
- Apply relevant patches
Chain of evidence and sources
isomorphic-git, src/utils/applyDelta.js içinde sunucu kontrollü targetSize değerini Buffer.alloc(targetSize) fonksiyonuna sınırlar olmadan aktarır.
Kötü amaçlı bir uzak sunucu, git.clone veya git.fetch işlemlerinin yaklaşık 2 GB bellek tahsis etmesine neden olan delta başlıkları gönderebilir.
Show the technical text from the sources
isomorphic-git is a pure JavaScript implementation of Git for Node.js and browsers. Prior to 1.38.6, isomorphic-git reads a server-controlled targetSize while applying a packfile delta in src/utils/applyDelta.js and passes it without a bound to Buffer.alloc(targetSize). A malicious or man-in-the-middle-controlled remote can send one delta header that causes git.clone() or git.fetch() to allocate approximately 2 GB before validating the actual delta output. GitPackIndex.fromPack swallows the later size-mismatch error, so a host with sufficient memory may retain the resource waste without a visible failure, while containers, serverless functions, and small virtual machines may terminate. Node.js heap limits do not mitigate the off-heap Buffer allocation. This issue is fixed in version 1.38.6.
