GHSA-rxf6-323f-44fc: Duplicate Advisory: rust-protobuf crate is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion, potentially leading to DoS

July 5, 2025 (updated August 1, 2025)

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-2gh3-rmm4-6rq5. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

The protobuf crate before 3.7.2 for Rust allows uncontrolled recursion in the protobuf::coded_input_stream::CodedInputStream::skip_group parsing of unknown fields in untrusted input.
