Summary

A vulnerability in the Java implementation of CBOR (library com.upokecenter.cbor) versions 4.0.0 to 4.5.1 is due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in the DecodeFromBytes function. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by providing specially crafted input.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves a potential remote DoS attack, which can disrupt applications using this library, leading to service unavailability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the com.upokecenter.cbor library to version 4.5.2 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

Inefficient algorithmic complexity in DecodeFromBytes function in com.upokecenter.cbor Java implementation of Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) versions 4.0.0 to 4.5.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by passing a maliciously crafted input. Depending on an application's use of this library, this may be a remote attacker.
