Denial of service via decoder integer overflow
Published May 29, 2026 · Updated May 29, 2026
Integer overflow in Ivan Korotkov avro before 2.33.0 allows remote attackers to crash applications via an untrusted Avro stream. Decoder paths narrow attacker-controlled 64-bit lengths before validation or add block counts with signed-int arithmetic that can wrap past allocation limits. Any application decoding untrusted Avro is exposed to cross-platform panics or cap bypasses; additional wrong-branch and truncation effects require 32-bit builds.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
