Unauthenticated service crash via oversized Thrift string
Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026
Denial of service in Sunnysidesoft VirtualTablet Server 3.0.2 allows remote attackers to crash the service through a Thrift request. The send_say() method accepts an oversized string without enforcing a length or resource limit, leaving the server unresponsive. No authentication or user interaction is required; the demonstrated consequence is loss of service availability, not data access or modification.
