MessagePack is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)
63
Medium Risk
This Affects:
MessagePackTL;DR
Multi-dimensional array formatters read dimension lengths from the payload and allocate T[,], T[,,], or T[,,,] before confirming that the dimension product matches the encoded element count. A small payload can declare huge dimensions with a tiny inner array and force large heap allocations or out-of-memory failures. The fix validates non-negative dimensions and their checked product against the element count before allocation.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and deserialize untrusted payloads into multi-dimensional array types.
