CVE-2024-2410 (GCVE-0-2024-2410)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-05-03 12:58 – Updated: 2024-08-01 19:11

Title

Use after free in C++ protobuf

Summary

The JsonToBinaryStream() function is part of the protocol buffers C++ implementation and is used to parse JSON from a stream. If the input is broken up into separate chunks in a certain way, the parser will attempt to read bytes from a chunk that has already been freed.

Severity

7.6 (High)
