Overview

OpenTelemetry.Resources.Azure is a package contains Resource Detectors for applications running in Azure environment.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the AzureVmMetaDataRequestor in the Azure resource metadata client. An attacker can force excessive memory consumption and process slowdown by causing the metadata endpoint to return an oversized response body. The code reads the Azure instance metadata response as an unbounded string before deserializing it, so a malicious or compromised metadata service can make applications that probe Azure VM metadata allocate and process large payloads, degrading or crashing the host process.
