CVSS v3.1 |
| Loop with unreachable exit condition ('infinite loop') in Azure Active Directory allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| fflate through 0.8.2 is vulnerable to denial of service via an infinite loop in unzipSync(). A crafted ZIP archive with a central directory entry declaring compressed_size=0xFFFFFFFF (ZIP64 sentinel) but missing the required ZIP64 extra field tag 0x0001 causes z64e() to loop indefinitely due to out-of-bounds reads returning undefined, which coerces to 0, keeping the loop condition permanently true. |
| Denial-of-Service in Thinkst Applied Research OpenCanary (MongoDB module) allows Excessive Allocation.
This issue affects OpenCanary 0.9.8 only. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in rt6_fill_node()
Sashiko reported this issue [1]. Apply the same fix as
commit f8d8ce1b515a ("ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_info_uses_dev()").
Writers holding tb6_lock can list_del_rcu(&rt->fib6_siblings)
without waiting for RCU readers; rt->fib6_siblings.next then still
points into the old ring and this softirq-side walker never reaches
&rt->fib6_siblings, causing a CPU stall. fib6_del_route() always
WRITE_ONCE()s rt->fib6_nsiblings to 0 before list_del_rcu(), so an
inside-loop check is a reliable detach signal.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: Fix ethx:ingress -> ethy:egress -> ethx:ingress mirred loop
When mirred redirects to ingress (from either ingress or egress) the loop
state from sched_mirred_dev array dev is lost because of 1) the packet
deferral into the backlog and 2) the fact the sched_mirred_dev array is
cleared. In such cases, if there was a loop we won't discover it.
Here's a simple test to reproduce:
ip a add dev port0 10.10.10.11/24
tc qdisc add dev port0 clsact
tc filter add dev port0 egress protocol ip \
prio 10 matchall action mirred ingress redirect dev port1
tc qdisc add dev port1 clsact
tc filter add dev port1 ingress protocol ip \
prio 10 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev port0

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: fix packet loop on netem when duplicate is on
When netem duplicates a packet it re-enqueues the copy at the root qdisc.
If another netem sits in the tree the copy can be duplicated
again, recursing until the stack or memory is exhausted.
The original duplication guard temporarily zeroed q->duplicate around
the re-enqueue, but that does not cover all cases because it is
per-qdisc state shared across all concurrent enqueue paths
and is not safe without additional locking.
Use the skb tc_depth field introduced in an earlier patch:
- increment it on the duplicate before re-enqueue
- skip duplication for any skb whose tc_depth is already non-zero.
This marks the packet itself rather than mutating qdisc state,
therefore it is safe regardless of tree topology or concurrency. |
| protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.6.5 and 8.6.6, protobufjs parsed option names by advancing through schema tokens until reaching an = token without checking for end of input, so a crafted .proto schema that opens an option declaration and ends prematurely can cause parse, Root.load, or Root.loadSync to loop indefinitely. This issue is fixed in versions 7.6.5 and 8.6.6. |
| OpenMcdf is a fully .NET / C# library to manipulate Compound File Binary File Format files, also known as Structured Storage. In 3.1.3 and earlier, the BST name-lookup loop in DirectoryTree.TryGetDirectoryEntry (OpenMcdf/DirectoryTree.cs:35-46) walks directory entries by repeatedly calling directories.TryGetSibling(child, siblingType, validateColor). A crafted CFB file with cyclic Left/Right sibling links among directory entries, constructed so the per-step BST-order check in TryGetSibling (DirectoryEntries.cs:84-85) is satisfied at every step, drives this while (child is not null) loop forever. There is no cycle detection in TryGetDirectoryEntry, and the bug is reachable from RootStorage.OpenStorage(name), TryOpenStorage(name), OpenStream(name), and TryOpenStream(name), causing an unrecoverable denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.4. |
| IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 is vulnerable to a trap when compiling a specially crafted statements containing subqueries could lead to a denial of service. |
| xrdp is an open source RDP server. In versions 0.10.6 and prior, a n issue was discovered where the software fails to properly validate the totalLength field within the RDP protocol control header during packet reception. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet that forces the xrdp process or thread into an infinite, CPU-bound loop. Because the internal pointer fails to advance and the deadlock prevention mechanism is bypassed for specific protocol data unit types, the process consumes excessive CPU resources indefinitely. This can render the xrdp service unavailable and potentially lead to system-wide resource exhaustion if multiple malicious connections are established. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.6.1. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: stop TX during firmware restart
When iwlwifi firmware crashes (e.g., NMI_INTERRUPT_UNKNOWN on Intel
BE201/Wi-Fi 7), iwl_mld_nic_error() sets mld->fw_status.in_hw_restart
to true. However, iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() does not check this flag before
dequeuing frames from mac80211 and pushing them to the transport layer.
Since the firmware is dead, iwl_trans_tx() returns -EIO for each frame,
which then gets freed immediately. Under high-throughput conditions
(e.g., Tailscale UDP traffic or active SSH sessions), this creates a
tight dequeue-send-fail-free loop that wastes CPU cycles and generates
rapid skb allocation churn, leading to memory pressure from slab
fragmentation.
The RX path already has this guard (iwl_mld_rx_mpdu checks
in_hw_restart at rx.c:1906), and so does the TXQ allocation worker
(iwl_mld_add_txqs_wk at tx.c:156). Add the same guard to
iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() to stop all TX during firmware restart.
Frames left in mac80211's TXQs are naturally drained after restart
completes, when queue reallocation triggers iwl_mld_tx_from_txq()
via iwl_mld_add_txq_list(), or when new upper-layer traffic invokes
wake_tx_queue.
Tested on ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3405CA with Intel BE201 (Wi-Fi 7) on
kernel 6.19.5 where the firmware crashes approximately every 10-15
minutes under Tailscale traffic. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffer fills.
Advance both mbssid_elem and sub_elem to the just-consumed continuation
so the next call to cfg80211_get_profile_continuation() searches for a
further continuation beyond it (or returns NULL when none exists).
A specially-crafted malicious beacon can take advantage of this bug
to cause the kernel to spend an excessive amount of time in
cfg80211_merge_profile (up to as much as 2ms per beacon received),
which could theoretically be abused in some way. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: use list_del_rcu in l2tp_session_unhash
An unprivileged local user can pin a host CPU indefinitely in
l2tp_session_get_by_ifname() by issuing L2TP_CMD_SESSION_GET on
L2TP_ATTR_IFNAME concurrently with L2TP_CMD_SESSION_CREATE and
L2TP_CMD_SESSION_DELETE on the same tunnel. All three commands take
GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, so CAP_NET_ADMIN in the netns user namespace
suffices; on any host that has l2tp_core loaded the trigger is
reachable from a standard `unshare -Urn` sandbox.
l2tp_session_unhash() removes a session from tunnel->session_list
with list_del_init(), but that list is walked by
l2tp_session_get_by_ifname() with list_for_each_entry_rcu() under
rcu_read_lock_bh(). list_del_init() leaves the deleted entry's
next/prev self-pointing; a reader that has loaded the entry and
then advances pos->list.next reads &session->list, container_of()s
back to the same session, and list_for_each_entry_rcu() never
reaches the list head. The CPU stays in strcmp() inside the
walker, with BH and preemption disabled, so RCU grace periods on
the host stall behind it and the wedged thread cannot be killed
(SIGKILL is delivered on syscall return).
Use list_del_rcu() to match the existing list_add_rcu() in
l2tp_session_register(); the deleted session remains visible to
in-flight walkers with consistent next/prev pointers until
kfree_rcu() in l2tp_session_free() releases it. tunnel->session_list
has exactly one list_del_init() call site; the list_del_init
(&session->clist) at l2tp_core.c:533 operates on the per-collision
list, which is not walked under RCU. list_empty(&session->list) is
not used anywhere in net/l2tp/ after the unhash point, so dropping
the post-delete self-init is safe; the fix has no userspace-visible
behavior change. |
| SurrealDB before 2.0.5, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, and 2.2.x before 2.2.2 allows authenticated users with OWNER or EDITOR permissions (at the root, namespace, or database level) to define custom database functions via DEFINE FUNCTION using nested FOR loops. Although a single loop's iteration count is constrained, nesting multiple loops (e.g., each with 1,000,000 iterations) is not, so an attacker can execute a function that consumes all server CPU time. Configured timeouts do not stop the execution, rendering the server unresponsive to other queries and connections until it is manually restarted. |
| barebox version prior to 2026.04.0 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in ext4 directory parsing in fs/ext4/ext4_common.c where the ext4fs_iterate_dir() function fails to validate that directory entry length values are non-zero. Attackers can supply a malicious ext4 filesystem image with a crafted directory entry containing a direntlen value of 0 to cause an infinite loop during directory listing or path resolution, resulting in the boot process hanging indefinitely. |
| Dasel is a command-line tool and library for querying, modifying, and transforming data structures. From 3.0.0 until 3.10.1, the selector lexer matchRegexPattern closure in (*Tokenizer).parseCurRune in selector/lexer/tokenize.go loops while tokenizing an unterminated regex literal such as r/ because peekRuneEqual returns false after the end of input, allowing attacker-controlled selector strings to consume CPU indefinitely. This issue is fixed in version 3.10.1. |
| HTML::Bare versions through 0.04 for Perl will hang in an infinite loop when parsing malformed attributes.
The parserc_parse function never advances the attribute-parse state cursor on certain malformed attribute forms, looping forever.
Nameless attributes such as "<a ='c'>" or unbalanced quotes "<a b='''''''c'>" can trigger this condition.
Note that the latest version available on CPAN is version 0.02. Newer versions are available on the git repository. |
| XML::Bare versions through 0.53 for Perl will hang in an infinite loop when parsing malformed attributes.
The parserc_parse function never advances the attribute-parse state cursor on certain malformed attribute forms, looping forever.
Nameless attributes such as "<a ='c'>" or unbalanced quotes "<a b='''''''c'>" can trigger this condition. |
| Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 12.0.0 through 12.2.0, Pillow's EPS parser in PIL/EpsImagePlugin.py accepts a negative byte count in the %%BeginBinary directive, allowing a crafted EPS file to cause Image.open() to seek backwards to the same directive and parse it repeatedly in an infinite loop. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0. |
| image-size through 2.0.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows remote attackers to permanently block the Node.js event loop by supplying a specially crafted ICNS image buffer. Attackers can craft an ICNS buffer containing valid magic bytes and a zero-valued entry length field to trigger an infinite loop in the ICNS parser, as the offset is never incremented when the entry length field is 0, causing the while loop condition to remain true indefinitely. |
