CVE-2026-32933Hig0.497.50.00Mar 20, 2026AutoMapper is a convention-based object-object mapper in .NET. Versions prior to 15.1.1 and 16.1.1 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. When mapping deeply nested object graphs, the library uses recursive method calls without enforcing a default maximum depth limit. This allows an attacker to provide a specially crafted object graph that exhausts the thread's stack memory, triggering a `StackOverflowException` and causing the entire application process to terminate. Versions 15.1.1 and 16.1.1 fix the issue.
CVE-2025-70957Hig0.497.50.00Feb 13, 2026A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in the TON Lite Server before v2024.09. The vulnerability arises from the handling of external arguments passed to locally executed "get methods." An attacker can inject a constructed Continuation object (an internal TVM type) that is normally restricted within the VM. When the TVM executes this malicious continuation, it consumes excessive CPU resources while accruing disproportionately low virtual gas costs. This "free" computation allows an attacker to monopolize the Lite Server's processing power, significantly reducing its throughput and causing a denial of service for legitimate users acting through the gateway.
CVE-2025-70955Hig0.497.50.00Feb 13, 2026A Stack Overflow vulnerability was discovered in the TON Virtual Machine (TVM) before v2024.10. The vulnerability stems from the improper handling of vmstate and continuation jump instructions, which allow for continuous dynamic tail calls. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a smart contract with deeply nested jump logic. Even within permissible gas limits, this nested execution exhausts the host process's stack space, causing the validator node to crash. This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the TON blockchain network.
CVE-2025-5302Hig0.498.60.00Aug 25, 2025A denial of service vulnerability exists in the JSONReader component of the run-llama/llama_index repository, specifically in version v0.12.37. The vulnerability is caused by uncontrolled recursion when parsing deeply nested JSON files, which can lead to Python hitting its maximum recursion depth limit. This results in high resource consumption and potential crashes of the Python process. The issue is resolved in version 0.12.38.
CVE-2025-30193Hig0.497.50.00May 20, 2025In some circumstances, when DNSdist is configured to allow an unlimited number of queries on a single, incoming TCP connection from a client, an attacker can cause a denial of service by crafting a TCP exchange that triggers an exhaustion of the stack and a crash of DNSdist, causing a denial of service. The remedy is: upgrade to the patched 1.9.10 version. A workaround is to restrict the maximum number of queries on incoming TCP connections to a safe value, like 50, via the setMaxTCPQueriesPerConnection setting. We would like to thank Renaud Allard for bringing this issue to our attention.
CVE-2024-57699Hig0.497.50.00Feb 5, 2025A security issue was found in Netplex Json-smart 2.5.0 through 2.5.1. When loading a specially crafted JSON input, containing a large number of ’{’, a stack exhaustion can be trigger, which could allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-1370.
CVE-2021-41737Hig0.497.50.00Nov 10, 2024In Faust 2.23.1, an input file with the lines "// r visualisation tCst" and "//process = +: L: abM-^Q;" and "process = route(3333333333333333333,2,1,2,3,1) : *;" leads to stack consumption.
CVE-2024-34158Hig0.497.50.00Sep 6, 2024Calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
CVE-2024-5971Hig0.497.50.04Jul 8, 2024A vulnerability was found in Undertow, where the chunked response hangs after the body was flushed. The response headers and body were sent but the client would continue waiting as Undertow does not send the expected 0\r\n termination of the chunked response. This results in uncontrolled resource consumption, leaving the server side to a denial of service attack. This happens only with Java 17 TLSv1.3 scenarios.
CVE-2017-12964Hig0.497.50.01Aug 18, 2017There is a stack consumption issue in LibSass 3.4.5 that is triggered in the function Sass::Eval::operator() in eval.cpp. It will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
CVE-2017-11556Hig0.497.50.01Jul 23, 2017There is a stack consumption vulnerability in the Parser::advanceToNextToken function in parser.cpp in LibSass 3.4.5. A crafted input may lead to remote denial of service.
CVE-2017-11554Hig0.497.50.01Jul 23, 2017There is a stack consumption vulnerability in the lex function in parser.hpp (as used in sassc) in LibSass 3.4.5. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service.
CVE-2017-11164Hig0.497.50.00Jul 11, 2017In PCRE 8.41, the OP_KETRMAX feature in the match function in pcre_exec.c allows stack exhaustion (uncontrolled recursion) when processing a crafted regular expression.
CVE-2017-9766Hig0.497.50.01Jun 21, 2017In Wireshark 2.2.7, PROFINET IO data with a high recursion depth allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq function in plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn-io.c.
CVE-2017-9729Hig0.497.50.00Jun 16, 2017In uClibc 0.9.33.2, there is stack exhaustion (uncontrolled recursion) in the check_dst_limits_calc_pos_1 function in misc/regex/regexec.c when processing a crafted regular expression.
CVE-2017-9438Hig0.497.50.01Jun 5, 2017libyara/re.c in the regexp module in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted rule (involving hex strings) that is mishandled in the _yr_re_emit function, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-9304.
CVE-2017-9304Hig0.497.50.00May 31, 2017libyara/re.c in the regexp module in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the _yr_re_emit function.
CVE-2017-5839Hig0.497.50.03Feb 9, 2017The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack overflow and crash) via vectors involving nested WAVEFORMATEX.
CVE-2016-3627Hig0.497.50.00May 17, 2016The xmlStringGetNodeList function in tree.c in libxml2 2.9.3 and earlier, when used in recovery mode, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, stack consumption, and application crash) via a crafted XML document.
CVE-2024-49363Hig0.487.40.00Dec 18, 2024Misskey is an open source, federated social media platform. In affected versions FileServerService (media proxy) in github.com/misskey-dev/misskey 2024.10.1 or earlier did not detect proxy loops, which allows remote actors to execute a self-propagating reflected/amplified distributed denial-of-service via a maliciously crafted note. FileServerService.prototype.proxyHandler did not check incoming requests are not coming from another proxy server. An attacker can execute an amplified denial-of-service by sending a nested proxy request to the server and end the request with a malicious redirect back to another nested proxy request. Leading to unbounded recursion until the original request is timed out. This issue has been addressed in version 2024.11.0-alpha.3. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may configure the reverse proxy to block requests to the proxy with an empty User-Agent header or one containing Misskey/. An attacker can not effectively modify the User-Agent header without making another request to the server.
