| CVE-2026-41408 | Med | 0.21 | 4.3 | 0.00 | Apr 28, 2026 | OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in media downloads that bypasses core safety limits for file size, count, and cleanup operations. Attackers can exhaust disk space by downloading media files without triggering intended safety restrictions, causing availability impact. | |
| CVE-2025-11274 | Low | 0.21 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Oct 5, 2025 | A vulnerability was determined in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 6.0.2. Affected is the function Q3DImporter::InternReadFile of the file assimp/code/AssetLib/Q3D/Q3DLoader.cpp. This manipulation causes allocation of resources. The attack is restricted to local execution. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. | |
| CVE-2025-29606 | Med | 0.21 | 4.3 | 0.00 | Jul 14, 2025 | py-libp2p before 0.2.3 allows a peer to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a large RSA key. | |
| CVE-2025-45526 | Low | 0.19 | 2.9 | 0.00 | Jun 17, 2025 | A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in the JavaScript library microlight version 0.0.7. This library, used for syntax highlighting, does not limit the size of textual content it processes in HTML elements with the microlight class. When excessively large content (e.g., 100 million characters) is processed, the reset function in microlight.js consumes excessive memory and CPU resources, causing browser crashes or unresponsiveness. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page containing a microlight element with large content, resulting in a denial of service. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because a large amount of memory and CPU resources is expected to be needed for content of that size. | |

Affected devices do not properly limit the bandwidth for incoming network packets over their local USB port. This could allow an attacker with physical access to send specially crafted packets with high bandwidth to the affected devices thus forcing them to exhaust their memory and stop responding to any network traffic via the local USB port. Affected devices reset themselves automatically after a successful attack. The protection function is not affected of this vulnerability. | |
| CVE-2025-52889 | Low | 0.15 | 3.4 | 0.00 | Jun 25, 2025 | Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. When using an ACL on a device connected to a bridge, Incus version 6.12 and 6.13 generates nftables rules for local services (DHCP, DNS...) that partially bypass security options `security.mac_filtering`, `security.ipv4_filtering` and `security.ipv6_filtering`. This can lead to DHCP pool exhaustion and opens the door for other attacks. A patch is available at commit 2516fb19ad8428454cb4edfe70c0a5f0dc1da214. | |
| CVE-2026-8124 | Low | 0.14 | 3.3 | 0.00 | May 8, 2026 | A security vulnerability has been detected in GPAC up to 26.02.0. This affects the function sidx_box_read of the file src/isomedia/box_code_base.c. The manipulation leads to allocation of resources. The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The identifier of the patch is 442e2299530138d8f874fd885c565ba98a6318ba. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue. | |
| CVE-2026-39396 | Low | 0.13 | 3.1 | 0.00 | Apr 21, 2026 | OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to version 2.5.3, `ExtractPluginFromImage()` in OpenBao's OCI plugin downloader extracts a plugin binary from a container image by streaming decompressed tar data via `io.Copy` with no upper bound on the number of bytes written. An attacker who controls or compromises the OCI registry referenced in the victim's configuration can serve a crafted image containing a decompression bomb that decompresses to an arbitrarily large file. The SHA256 integrity check occurs after the full file is written to disk, meaning the hash mismatch is detected only after the damage (disk exhaustion) has already occurred. This allow the attacker to replace **legit plugin image** with no need to change its signature. Version 2.5.3 contains a patch. | |
| CVE-2025-65942 | Low | 0.11 | 2.7 | 0.00 | Nov 25, 2025 | VictoriaMetrics is a scalable solution for monitoring and managing time series data. In versions from 1.0.0 to before 1.110.23, from 1.111.0 to before 1.122.8, and from 1.123.0 to before 1.129.1, affected versions are vulnerable to DoS attacks because the snappy decoder ignored VictoriaMetrics request size limits allowing malformed blocks to trigger excessive memory use. This could lead to OOM errors and service instability. The fix enforces block-size checks based on MaxRequest limits. This issue has been patched in versions 1.110.23, 1.122.8, and 1.129.1. | |
| CVE-2025-59421 | Low | 0.11 | — | 0.00 | Sep 18, 2025 | Press, a Frappe custom app that runs Frappe Cloud, manages infrastructure, subscription, marketplace, and software-as-a-service (SaaS). A bad actor can flood the inbox of a user by repeatedly sending invites (duplicate). The issue is fixed in commit 83c3fc7676c5dbbe1fd5092d21d95a10c7b48615. | |
| CVE-2011-0419 | 0.07 | — | 0.49 | May 16, 2011 | Stack consumption vulnerability in the fnmatch implementation in apr_fnmatch.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library before 1.4.3 and the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.18, and in fnmatch.c in libc in NetBSD 5.1, OpenBSD 4.8, FreeBSD, Apple Mac OS X 10.6, Oracle Solaris 10, and Android, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via *? sequences in the first argument, as demonstrated by attacks against mod_autoindex in httpd. | ||
| CVE-2025-52570 | Low | 0.04 | — | 0.00 | Jun 24, 2025 | Letmein is an authenticating port knocker. Prior to version 10.2.1, The connection limiter is implemented incorrectly. It allows an arbitrary amount of simultaneously incoming connections (TCP, UDP and Unix socket) for the services letmeind and letmeinfwd. Therefore, the command line option num-connections is not effective and does not limit the number of simultaneously incoming connections. This issue has been patched in version 10.2.1. | |
| CVE-2009-4017 | 0.03 | — | 0.02 | Nov 24, 2009 | PHP before 5.2.12 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 does not restrict the number of temporary files created when handling a multipart/form-data POST request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion), and makes it easier for remote attackers to exploit local file inclusion vulnerabilities, via multiple requests, related to lack of support for the max_file_uploads directive. | ||
| CVE-2009-2726 | 0.02 | — | 0.31 | Aug 12, 2009 | The SIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x before 1.2.34, 1.4.x before 1.4.26.1, 1.6.0.x before 1.6.0.12, and 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.4; Asterisk Business Edition A.x.x, B.x.x before B.2.5.9, C.2.x before C.2.4.1, and C.3.x before C.3.1; and Asterisk Appliance s800i 1.2.x before 1.3.0.3 does not use a maximum width when invoking sscanf style functions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack memory consumption) via SIP packets containing large sequences of ASCII decimal characters, as demonstrated via vectors related to (1) the CSeq value in a SIP header, (2) large Content-Length value, and (3) SDP. | ||
| CVE-2005-2970 | 0.02 | — | 0.21 | Oct 25, 2005 | Memory leak in the worker MPM (worker.c) for Apache 2, in certain circumstances, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via aborted connections, which prevents the memory for the transaction pool from being reused for other connections. | ||
