Advisory FAQ
How do I know if I am affected?
If you have a runtime or SDK with a version listed, or an affected package listed in affected software or affected packages, you're exposed to the vulnerability.
How do I fix the issue?
- To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 9.0 . If you have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt you to update Visual Studio, which will also update your .NET SDKs.
- If your application references the vulnerable package, update the package reference to the patched version.
Note: You may need to take both actions. Upgrading to 9.0 GA is not by itself sufficient to resolve the vulnerability, since you could still be pulling in the vulnerable package by reference.
- If you have .NET 8.0 or greater installed, you can list the versions you have installed by running the
dotnet --infocommand. You will see output like the following;
.NET Core SDK (reflecting any global.json):

To install additional .NET Core runtimes or SDKs:
https://aka.ms/dotnet-download
- If you're using .NET 9.0, you should download and install .NET 9.0 Runtime or .NET 9.0.100 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 latest Preview) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/9.0.
Once you have installed the updated runtime or SDK, restart your apps for the update to take effect.
Additionally, if you've deployed self-contained applications targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed.

GHSA-7W5X-HRQM-74C2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-09 18:07 – Updated: 2026-09-09 18:07Summary
parse() can be forced into an infinite loop when a value inside an array or inline table is followed by a comment that has no trailing newline (i.e. the comment "ends" the document).
The library fails to exit an internal loop when attempting to find the end of the structure, resetting its cursor to the beginning of the string instead. This causes the parser to indefinitely hang, compromising the availability of the service.
Proof of concept
import { parse } from 'smol-toml'
parse('a=[1 #') // never returns; CPU pinned at 100%
Impact
Applications which parse arbitrary TOML documents can suffer major availability issues if they receive malicious input. This issue is particularly severe for these use-cases, and it is strongly advised to upgrade to an up-to-date version of the library as soon as possible.
If your use-case does not involve parsing arbitrary TOML documents from untrusted sources, the impact is much lower in practice, although it's still advisable to update to version 1.7.1.
Patches
Version 1.7.1 properly breaks out of the loop in these situations and throws the expected TomlError.
Workarounds
None that don't involve refactors. Update the library as soon as possible if your use-case involves parsing arbitrary TOML documents from untrusted sources.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-18 15:32 – Updated: 2026-09-18 15:32A denial of service flaw was found in Poppler's Splash backend. A crafted PDF with tiling-pattern geometry approaching the int32 boundary can cause SplashOutputDev::tilingPatternFill to compute an attacker-controlled repeat count that drives an excessively long loop in the pattern-fill scanline routine, without a corresponding memory allocation. An attacker could exploit this by supplying a malicious PDF to an application that renders it via Poppler's Splash backend, causing the rendering process to consume 100% CPU for an attacker-controlled, extended duration.

GHSA-85XR-GHJ6-6M46
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-16 18:30 – Updated: 2024-08-13 18:31Issue summary: Checking excessively long DSA keys or parameters may be very slow.
Impact summary: Applications that use the functions EVP_PKEY_param_check() or EVP_PKEY_public_check() to check a DSA public key or DSA parameters may experience long delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.
The functions EVP_PKEY_param_check() or EVP_PKEY_public_check() perform
various checks on DSA parameters. Some of those computations take a long time
if the modulus (p parameter) is too large.
Trying to use a very large modulus is slow and OpenSSL will not allow using public keys with a modulus which is over 10,000 bits in length for signature verification. However the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size when performing the checks.
An application that calls EVP_PKEY_param_check() or EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies a key or parameters obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
These functions are not called by OpenSSL itself on untrusted DSA keys so only applications that directly call these functions may be vulnerable.
Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL pkey and pkeyparam command line applications
when using the -check option.
The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue.
The OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this issue.

GHSA-C945-CQJ5-WFV6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-07-31 18:30 – Updated: 2024-06-21 21:33Issue summary: Checking excessively long DH keys or parameters may be very slow.
Impact summary: Applications that use the functions DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() to check a DH key or DH parameters may experience long delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.
The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. After fixing CVE-2023-3446 it was discovered that a large q parameter value can also trigger an overly long computation during some of these checks. A correct q value, if present, cannot be larger than the modulus p parameter, thus it is unnecessary to perform these checks if q is larger than p.
An application that calls DH_check() and supplies a key or parameters obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
The function DH_check() is itself called by a number of other OpenSSL functions. An application calling any of those other functions may similarly be affected. The other functions affected by this are DH_check_ex() and EVP_PKEY_param_check().
Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL dhparam and pkeyparam command line applications when using the "-check" option.
The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue.
The OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are not affected by this issue.

GHSA-CVR6-37GX-V8WC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-03-25 19:38 – Updated: 2024-03-25 22:32Impact
KaTeX users who render untrusted mathematical expressions could encounter malicious input using \def or \newcommand that causes a near-infinite loop, despite setting maxExpand to avoid such loops. This can be used as an availability attack, where e.g. a client rendering another user's KaTeX input will be unable to use the site due to memory overflow, tying up the main thread, or stack overflow.
Patches
Upgrade to KaTeX v0.16.10 to remove this vulnerability.
Workarounds
Forbid inputs containing any of the characters ₊₋₌₍₎₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉ₐₑₕᵢⱼₖₗₘₙₒₚᵣₛₜᵤᵥₓᵦᵧᵨᵩᵪ⁺⁻⁼⁽⁾⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖʳˢᵗᵘʷˣʸᶻᵛᵝᵞᵟᵠᵡ before passing them to KaTeX.
(There is no easy workaround for the auto-render extension.)
Details
KaTeX supports an option named maxExpand which aims to prevent infinitely recursive macros from consuming all available memory and/or triggering a stack overflow error. Unfortunately, support for "Unicode (sub|super)script characters" allows an attacker to bypass this limit. Each sub/superscript group instantiated a separate Parser with its own limit on macro executions, without inheriting the current count of macro executions from its parent. This has been corrected in KaTeX v0.16.10.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-09 21:31 – Updated: 2026-07-20 15:31An Unchecked Input for Loop Condition vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).Micro-BFD session flaps generate respective up/down events which are queued by PFEMAN for processing. Especially in a Virtual-Chassis (VC) scenario with locality‑bias configured, processing takes a significant amount of time for each event. If these sessions keep flapping, new events are constantly added, and in turn PFEMAN never completes processing these events. This results in the PFEMAN watchdog timer expiring, which causes the FPC to crash and restart, representing a complete service outage.
This issue only affects MX series FPCs up to and including MPC9. It does not affect MPC10/11, LC4800/9600 and MX304.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:
