Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVE-2024-21634

Severity High
Score 7.5/10

Summary

Amazon Ion is a Java implementation of the Ion data notation. In versions prior to 1.10.5, a potential denial-of-service (DoS) attack issue exists in 'ion-java' for applications that use "ion-java" to deserialize Ion text encoded data, or deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the "IonValue" model and then invoke certain "IonValue" methods on that in-memory representation. An actor could craft Ion data that, when loaded by the affected application and/or processed using the "IonValue" model, results in a StackOverflowError originating from the "ion-java" library. As a workaround, do not load data that originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with.
