pprof is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)
35
Low Risk
This Affects:
pprofTL;DR
Affected versions of this package misuse the unsafe std::slice::from_raw_parts API, breaking safety assumptions. In TempFdArrayIterator.next, a generic type can create and pass a misaligned pointer. Additionally, using c_void for address validation can expose uninitialized memory. These issues highlight the need for proper type checks before type conversions with unsafe APIs. Exploiting this vulnerability can cause a panic, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) in applications like greptimedb when using pprof::report::ReportBuilder::build or pprof::validate.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
Background info
pprof is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) in versions 0.1.0 - 0.13.0.
