GHSA-264p-99wq-f4j6
No affected components available
Impact
A potential denial-of-service issue exists in ion-java for applications that use ion-java to:
- Deserialize Ion text encoded data, or
- Deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the
IonValuemodel and then invoke certainIonValuemethods on that in-memory representation.
An actor could craft Ion data that, when loaded by the affected application and/or processed using the IonValue model, results in a StackOverflowError originating from the ion-java library.
Impacted versions: <1.10.5
Patches
The patch is included in ion-java >= 1.10.5.
Workarounds
Do not load data which originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with. Only load data you trust.
