CVE-2024-7254 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:7.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream protobuf-javadoc package and not the protobuf-javadoc package as distributed by RHEL.
Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.
