Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55163)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-53864)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack via a deeply nested JSON object supplied in a JWT claim set.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-57699)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling a specially crafted JSON input. A remote attacker can pass a large number of ’{’ characters to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU75044 (CVE-2023-1370).


4) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1370)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when processing nested arrays and objects. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JSON data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24970)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in SslHandler when using native SSLEngine. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
