Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVE-2025-65942

Severity Low
Score 2.7/10

Summary

VictoriaMetrics is a scalable solution for monitoring and managing time series data. In versions from 1.0.0 through 1.110.22, from 1.111.0 through 1.122.7, and from 1.123.0 through 1.129.0, affected versions are vulnerable to Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks because the snappy decoder ignored VictoriaMetrics request size limits allowing malformed blocks to trigger excessive memory use. This could lead to Out-Of-Memory(OOM) errors and service instability. The fix enforces block-size checks based on "MaxRequest" limits.
