rardecode: DoS risk due to unrestricted RAR dictionary sizes
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/nwaples/rardecode/v2 | < 2.2.0 | 2.2.0 |
| Go | github.com/nwaples/rardecode | <= 1.1.3 | no fix listed |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
rardecode versions <= 2.1.1 fail to restrict the dictionary size when reading large RAR dictionary sizes, which allows an attacker to provide a specially crafted RAR file and cause Denial of Service via an Out Of Memory Crash.
