Short explanation
A flaw in libmodulemd allows crafted module metadata parsing of the xmd field through recursive YAML mapping and sequence helpers without recursion limits, potentially causing stack exhaustion or excessive resource consumption resulting in a denial of service.
This vulnerability matters because it allows attackers to trigger a denial of service via specially crafted module metadata containing deeply nested structures.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor advisories
- Apply relevant updates
Chain of evidence and sources
libmodulemd bileşeninde modül meta verileri ayrıştırılırken xmd alanı özyineleme veya düğüm sınırı olmaksızın işlenmektedir.
Saldırganlar derinlemesine iç içe xmd içeriği kullanarak hizmet reddine neden olabilmektedir.
Show the technical text from the sources
A flaw was found in libmodulemd. When parsing module metadata, the xmd field is converted into nested GVariant values through recursive YAML mapping and sequence helpers without a recursion-depth or node-count limit. An attacker who can supply crafted modulemd YAML with deeply nested xmd content can cause stack exhaustion or excessive resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service.
