Technical details
An inefficient algorithmic complexity vulnerability exists in Apache Thrift's Perl bindings (before version 0.25.0) that allows attackers to trigger computationally expensive operations through malformed or specially crafted input. The vulnerability is reachable over the network if Perl-based Thrift services are exposed. Upgrading to version 0.25.0 or later remedies the issue.
Affected products
- Apache Thrift before 0.25.0
