CVE-2020-5234: Untrusted data can lead to DoS attack due to hash collisions and stack overflow in MessagePack
(updated )
When this library is used to deserialize messagepack data from an untrusted source, there is a risk of a denial of service attack by either of two vectors:
- hash collisions - leading to large CPU consumption disproportionate to the size of the data being deserialized.
- stack overflow - leading to the deserializing process crashing.
