CVE-2021-22569 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:22.10 protobuf to version 3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.10.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream protobuf package and not the protobuf package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.10 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the vulnerable versions.
