Application crash via unchecked collection lengths
Published Nov 10, 2022 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Improper input validation in shamaton msgpack before 2.1.1 allows remote attackers to crash consuming applications via malformed data. Unmarshal trusts declared array and map element counts without ensuring that the remaining buffer contains the minimum required bytes, leading to runtime panics. Exposure requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled MessagePack payloads to Unmarshal; a resulting panic can interrupt that application process.
