CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: cancel pending_rx_work before taking conn->lock
l2cap_conn_del() takes conn->lock and then calls cancel_work_sync() for
pending_rx_work. process_pending_rx() takes the same mutex, so teardown
can deadlock against the worker it is flushing.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.
The grounded PoC kept the l2cap_conn_ready() -> queue_work(...,
&conn->pending_rx_work) submit path, the l2cap_conn_del() ->
cancel_work_sync(&conn->pending_rx_work) teardown path, and the
process_pending_rx() -> mutex_lock(&conn->lock) worker edge. Lockdep
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
process_pending_rx+0x21/0x2a [vuln_msv]
l2cap_conn_del.constprop.0+0x3f/0x4e [vuln_msv]
*** DEADLOCK ***
Cancel pending_rx_work before taking conn->lock, matching the existing
lock-before-drain ordering used for the two delayed works in the same
teardown path. The pending_rx queue is still purged after the work has
been cancelled and conn->lock has been acquired. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: prevent potential infinite loop in bond_header_parse()
bond_header_parse() can loop if a stack of two bonding devices is setup,
because skb->dev always points to the hierarchy top.
Add new "const struct net_device *dev" parameter to
(struct header_ops)->parse() method to make sure the recursion
is bounded, and that the final leaf parse method is called. |
| Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') vulnerability in Erlang OTP ssh (ssh_sftpd module) allows an authenticated SFTP user to render an SFTP channel permanently unresponsive.
The handle_data/4 function in ssh_sftpd contains a catch-all clause that accepts channel data of any type. When channel data with a non-zero type code (SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA) arrives with an empty pending buffer and a payload at or below the SFTP packet size limit, the clause tail-calls itself with identical arguments, creating an infinite loop.
The SFTP protocol operates exclusively on normal channel data (type 0). Extended data (non-zero type) is meaningless for SFTP and is never sent by conforming clients. However, the SSH protocol permits any channel participant to send extended data on an open channel, so an authenticated SFTP client can trigger the loop by sending SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA with any data_type_code and any non-empty payload at or below the size limit.
The targeted ssh_sftpd process enters an infinite tail-recursive loop. It never processes another message, its message queue grows without bound, and it can only be stopped by killing the process. BEAM's reduction-based scheduler preemption continues to function, so other processes on the node are not starved, but each stuck channel process consumes its full CPU time share continuously and accumulates unbounded message queue memory. Opening many channels amplifies the CPU and memory impact.
Erlang/OTP SSH configurations using the default max_channels setting (infinity) allow an authenticated user to open unlimited channels per connection, amplifying the attack without requiring multiple TCP connections or authentications.
No file contents, credentials, or write access are obtainable through this issue. The impact is limited to denial of service on targeted SFTP channels, with secondary CPU degradation and memory growth.
This vulnerability is associated with program file lib/ssh/src/ssh_sftpd.erl and program routine ssh_sftpd:handle_data/4.
This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 29.0.3, OTP 28.5.0.3 and OTP 27.3.4.14, corresponding to ssh from 3.0.1 before 6.0.2, 5.5.2.2 and 5.2.11.9. |
| A norm.Iter can enter an infinite loop when handling input containing invalid UTF-8 bytes. |
| 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.

| 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. |
| 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. |
| A flaw was found in libcupsfilters. The cfIEEE1284NormalizeMakeModel() function enters an infinite loop when processing a printer-advertised IEEE-1284 device ID with an empty model field, causing sustained CPU consumption. A network-adjacent attacker could exploit this by broadcasting a specially crafted printer advertisement, leading to denial of service. |
| FFmpeg versions 0.6.3 through 8.1.2 contain an infinite loop vulnerability in the RTP/ASF demuxer within libavformat/rtpdec_asf.c that allows remote attackers to cause denial of service by sending a crafted RTP/ASF stream. The rtp_asf_fix_header function fails to validate a minimum chunksize when iterating over ASF objects, causing the loop pointer to never advance when a chunksize is smaller than the 24-byte minimum ASF object header size, resulting in CPU exhaustion that denies service to legitimate users. |
| In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.17 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2, an infinite loop was discovered in the TNEF decoder, which may lead to denial of service upon opening an email with a TNEF attachment. |
| Improper encoding or escaping of output in .NET allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. |
| A flaw was found in libssh. Logic errors in automatic certificate-based public key authentication can cause libssh clients to loop indefinitely when configured certificates are missing or repeatedly rejected by a server, leading to denial of service. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: fcoe: Reject FIP descriptors with zero fip_dlen in CVL walker
drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_ctlr.c::fcoe_ctlr_recv_clr_vlink() advanced the
descriptor cursor by an attacker-supplied fip_dlen without ever
requiring dlen >= sizeof(struct fip_desc) in the default branch. The
named descriptor cases (FIP_DT_MAC, FIP_DT_NAME, FIP_DT_VN_ID) checked
their per-type minimum lengths, but a FIP_DT_NON_CRITICAL descriptor
(fip_dtype >= 128, which the standard requires receivers to silently
ignore) skipped that check entirely.
An unauthenticated L2 peer on the FCoE control VLAN could hang
fcoe_ctlr_recv_work on an fcoe, qedf, or bnx2fc initiator indefinitely
by emitting one FIP CVL frame whose single descriptor had fip_dtype ==
FIP_DT_NON_CRITICAL and fip_dlen == 0: the cursor advanced zero bytes
per iteration and the loop condition rlen >= sizeof(*desc) stayed true
forever, blocking every subsequent FIP frame on that controller.
Tighten the outer dlen guard to also reject dlen < sizeof(struct
fip_desc), so a malformed descriptor whose length cannot even cover the
descriptor header is rejected before the switch. This is the same
lower-bound the named cases already apply and is the minimum scope that
closes the loop. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_select_path()
Found while auditing the same pattern Sashiko reported in
rt6_fill_node() [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(&first->fib6_siblings)
without waiting for RCU readers; first->fib6_siblings.next then
still points into the old ring and this softirq-side walker never
reaches &first->fib6_siblings as its terminator. fib6_purge_rt()
always WRITE_ONCE()s first->fib6_nsiblings to 0 before
list_del_rcu(), so an inside-loop check is a reliable detach signal.
