Summary
Uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in Apache Thrift Go bindings. When a frame yields no payload, the transport reads the next frame and calls Read again, potentially exceeding the stack limit and crashing the process. Affects versions before 0.25.0.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can cause a process crash (fatal error) that cannot be recovered, leading to denial of service.
Recommendation
Upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.25.0 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)
Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in Apache Thrift go bindings. Both Go transports satisfy a read out of a buffered frame and, when that frame yields no payload bytes, read the next frame and call `Read` again instead of looping. A peer produces such a frame for 4 bytes in `TFramedTransport` (a declared size of zero) or 18 bytes in `THeaderTransport` (a header block that fills the frame), so nothing bounds the depth. The Go stack limit is reached as a `fatal error`, which `recover()` cannot catch, so the whole process dies. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.25.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.25.0, which fixes the issue.
