CWE-755  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade facebook/fbthrift to version 2019.02.18.00 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions. C++ Facebook Thrift servers (using cpp2) would not error upon receiving messages with containers of fields of unknown type. As a result, malicious clients could send short messages which would take a long time for the server to parse, potentially leading to denial of service. This issue affects Facebook Thrift prior to v2019.02.18.00.
