|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2017-6299 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Feb 24, 2017 | An issue was discovered in ytnef before 1.9.1. This is related to a patch described as "2 of 9. Infinite Loop / DoS in the TNEFFillMapi function in lib/ytnef.c." | |
| CVE-2016-9776 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Dec 29, 2016 | QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with the ColdFire Fast Ethernet Controller emulator support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while receiving packets in 'mcf_fec_receive'. A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to crash the QEMU process on the host leading to DoS. | |
| CVE-2016-1981 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Dec 29, 2016 | QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with the e1000 NIC emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing data via transmit or receive descriptors, provided the initial receive/transmit descriptor head (TDH/RDH) is set outside the allocated descriptor buffer. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU instance resulting in DoS. | |
| CVE-2015-8558 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | May 23, 2016 | The ehci_process_itd function in hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c in QEMU allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a circular isochronous transfer descriptor (iTD) list. | |
| CVE-2012-1186 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Jun 5, 2012 | Integer overflow in the SyncImageProfiles function in profile.c in ImageMagick 6.7.5-8 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted IOP tag offsets in the IFD in an image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0248. | |
| CVE-2012-0248 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Jun 5, 2012 | ImageMagick 6.7.5-7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and hang) via a crafted image whose IFD contains IOP tags that all reference the beginning of the IDF. | |
| CVE-2026-32889 | Med | 0.35 | 6.5 | 0.00 | Mar 20, 2026 | tinytag is a Python library for reading audio file metadata. Version 2.2.0 allows an attacker who can supply MP3 files for parsing to trigger a non-terminating loop while the library parses an ID3v2 SYLT (synchronized lyrics) frame. In server-side deployments that automatically parse attacker-supplied files, a single 498-byte MP3 can cause the parsing operation to stop making progress and remain busy until the worker or process is terminated. The root cause is that _parse_synced_lyrics assumes _find_string_end_pos always returns a position greater than the current offset. That assumption is false when no string terminator is present in the remaining frame content. This issue has been fixed in version 2.2.1. | |
| CVE-2026-8318 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | May 11, 2026 | A security flaw has been discovered in VectifyAI PageIndex up to f50e52975313c6716c02b20a119577a1929decba. Affected by this vulnerability is the function toc_transformer of the file pageindex/page_index.py of the component PDF Table of Contents Handler. The manipulation results in infinite loop. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. This product operates on a rolling release basis, ensuring continuous delivery. Consequently, there are no version details for either affected or updated releases. | |
| CVE-2026-6985 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Apr 25, 2026 | A weakness has been identified in Cesanta Mongoose up to 7.20. This vulnerability affects the function handle_opt of the file /src/net_builtin.c of the component TCP Option Handler. This manipulation of the argument optlen causes infinite loop. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 7.21 is able to resolve this issue. Upgrading the affected component is advised. VulDB has contacted the vendor early and they confirmed quickly, that this issue got fixed already. | |
| CVE-2026-41511 | Med | 0.33 | 6.2 | 0.00 | May 8, 2026 | OpenMcdf is a fully .NET / C# library to manipulate Compound File Binary File Format files, also known as Structured Storage. Prior to version 3.1.3, OpenMcdf does not detect cycles in the directory entry red-black tree of a Compound File Binary (CFB) document. A crafted CFB file with a cycle in the LeftSiblingID / RightSiblingID chain causes Storage.EnumerateEntries() and Storage.OpenStream() to loop indefinitely, consuming the calling thread with no possibility of recovery via try/catch. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.3. | |
| CVE-2026-35406 | Med | 0.33 | 6.2 | 0.00 | Apr 7, 2026 | Aardvark-dns is an authoritative dns server for A/AAAA container records. From 1.16.0 to 1.17.0, a truncated TCP DNS query followed by a connection reset causes aardvark-dns to enter an unrecoverable infinite error loop at 100% CPU. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.1. | |
| CVE-2024-5569 | Med | 0.33 | 6.2 | 0.00 | Jul 9, 2024 | A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the jaraco/zipp library, affecting all versions prior to 3.19.1. The vulnerability is triggered when processing a specially crafted zip file that leads to an infinite loop. This issue also impacts the zipfile module of CPython, as features from the third-party zipp library are later merged into CPython, and the affected code is identical in both projects. The infinite loop can be initiated through the use of functions affecting the `Path` module in both zipp and zipfile, such as `joinpath`, the overloaded division operator, and `iterdir`. Although the infinite loop is not resource exhaustive, it prevents the application from responding. The vulnerability was addressed in version 3.19.1 of jaraco/zipp. | |
| CVE-2024-2397 | Med | 0.33 | 6.2 | 0.00 | Apr 12, 2024 | Due to a bug in packet data buffers management, the PPP printer in tcpdump can enter an infinite loop when reading a crafted DLT_PPP_SERIAL .pcap savefile. This problem does not affect any tcpdump release, but it affected the git master branch from 2023-06-05 to 2024-03-21. | |
| CVE-2023-50763 | Med | 0.32 | 4.9 | 0.00 | Jun 11, 2024 | A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC CP 1542SP-1 (6GK7542-6UX00-0XE0) (All versions < V2.3), SIMATIC CP 1542SP-1 IRC (6GK7542-6VX00-0XE0) (All versions < V2.3), SIMATIC CP 1543SP-1 (6GK7543-6WX00-0XE0) (All versions < V2.3), SIPLUS ET 200SP CP 1542SP-1 IRC TX RAIL (6AG2542-6VX00-4XE0) (All versions < V2.3), SIPLUS ET 200SP CP 1543SP-1 ISEC (6AG1543-6WX00-7XE0) (All versions < V2.3), SIPLUS ET 200SP CP 1543SP-1 ISEC TX RAIL (6AG2543-6WX00-4XE0) (All versions < V2.3), SIPLUS TIM 1531 IRC (6AG1543-1MX00-7XE0) (All versions < V2.4.8), TIM 1531 IRC (6GK7543-1MX00-0XE0) (All versions < V2.4.8). The web server of affected products, if configured to allow the import of PKCS12 containers, could end up in an infinite loop when processing incomplete certificate chains. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition by importing specially crafted PKCS12 containers. | |
| CVE-2024-58097 | Med | 0.29 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Apr 16, 2025 | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix RCU stall while reaping monitor destination ring While processing the monitor destination ring, MSDUs are reaped from the link descriptor based on the corresponding buf_id. However, sometimes the driver cannot obtain a valid buffer corresponding to the buf_id received from the hardware. This causes an infinite loop in the destination processing, resulting in a kernel crash. kernel log: ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309 ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309 ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed Fix this by skipping the problematic buf_id and reaping the next entry, replacing the break with the next MSDU processing.
