  "details" : [ "protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2, protobufjs could recurse without a depth limit while decoding nested protobuf data. This affected both skipping unknown group fields and generated decoding of nested message fields. A crafted protobuf binary payload could cause the JavaScript call stack to be exhausted during decoding. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.6 and 8.0.2.", "A flaw was found in protobufjs, a library that compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript functions. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted protobuf binary payload. This payload could cause uncontrolled recursion during the decoding of nested protobuf data, leading to the exhaustion of the JavaScript call stack. This ultimately results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for applications using the affected library." ],
  "statement" : "An uncontrolled recursion vulnerability was discovered in protobufjs which can allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via stack exhaustion. Red Hat products bundling vulnerable instances of this npm package (specifically versions prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2) are affected.",
