GHSA-GM2P-WF5C-W3PJ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-21 16:19 – Updated: 2025-10-14 21:59Summary
Amazon.IonDotnet (ion-dotnet) is a .NET library with an implementation of the Ion data serialization format.
An issue exists in Amazon.IonDotnet and the RawBinaryReader class where, under certain conditions, an actor could trigger an infinite loop condition.
Impact
When reading binary Ion data through Amazon.IonDotnet using the RawBinaryReader class, Amazon.IonDotnet does not check the number of bytes read from the underlying stream while deserializing the binary format. If the Ion data is malformed or truncated, this triggers an infinite loop condition that could potentially result in a denial of service.
Impacted versions: <=1.3.0
Patches
This issue has been addressed in Amazon.IonDotnet version 1.3.1. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds. Upgrade to version 1.3.1.

GHSA-GR26-QX48-Q4HH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-27 18:31 – Updated: 2025-04-15 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Fix ib block iterator counter overflow
When registering a new DMA MR after selecting the best aligned page size for it, we iterate over the given sglist to split each entry to smaller, aligned to the selected page size, DMA blocks.
In given circumstances where the sg entry and page size fit certain sizes and the sg entry is not aligned to the selected page size, the total size of the aligned pages we need to cover the sg entry is >= 4GB. Under this circumstances, while iterating page aligned blocks, the counter responsible for counting how much we advanced from the start of the sg entry is overflowed because its type is u32 and we pass 4GB in size. This can lead to an infinite loop inside the iterator function because the overflow prevents the counter to be larger than the size of the sg entry.
Fix the presented problem by changing the advancement condition to eliminate overflow.

GHSA-GR67-PWCV-76GF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-10 19:44 – Updated: 2025-06-10 19:44Summary
Malicious Jiffle scripts can be executed by GeoServer, either as a rendering transformation in WMS dynamic styles or as a WPS process, that can enter an infinite loop to trigger denial of service.
Details
The Jiffle language supports multiple loop constructs that will cause its code block to be continuously executed until a certain condition is met. The Jiffle runtime should be updated to throw an exception if the script exceeds a certain number of loop iterations.
Impact
This vulnerability allows attackers to conduct denial-of-service attacks.
Mitigation
This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling WMS dynamic styling (see WMS Settings). If the WPS extension is installed, the Jiffle process must also be disabled to mitigate this vulnerability (see WPS Settings)

"details": "### Summary\nMalicious Jiffle scripts can be executed by GeoServer, either as a rendering transformation in WMS dynamic styles or as a WPS process, that can enter an infinite loop to trigger denial of service.\n\n### Details\nThe Jiffle language supports multiple loop constructs that will cause its code block to be continuously executed until a certain condition is met. The Jiffle runtime should be updated to throw an exception if the script exceeds a certain number of loop iterations.\n\n### Impact\nThis vulnerability allows attackers to conduct denial-of-service attacks.\n\n### Mitigation\nThis vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling WMS dynamic styling (see [WMS Settings](https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wms/webadmin.html#disabling-usage-of-dynamic-styling-in-getmap-getfeatureinfo-and-getlegendgraphic-requests)).\nIf the WPS extension is installed, the Jiffle process must also be disabled to mitigate this vulnerability (see [WPS Settings](https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wps/security.html#input-limits))\n\n### References\nhttps://github.com/geosolutions-it/jai-ext/pull/307\nhttps://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-11778",

GHSA-GRCX-7J3G-CV8R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-20 18:30 – Updated: 2025-11-17 15:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: pidff: Make sure to fetch pool before checking SIMULTANEOUS_MAX
As noted by Anssi some 20 years ago, pool report is sometimes messed up. This worked fine on many devices but casued oops on VRS DirectForce PRO.
Here, we're making sure pool report is refetched before trying to access any of it's fields. While loop was replaced with a for loop + exit conditions were moved aroud to decrease the possibility of creating an infinite loop scenario.
