BIT-minio-2026-39414 — MinIO affected a DoS via Unbounded Memory Allocation in S3 Select CSV Parsing

Affected: Bitnami: minio

MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. From RELEASE.2018-08-18T03-49-57Z to before RELEASE.2025-12-20T04-58-37Z, MinIO's S3 Select feature is vulnerable to memory exhaustion when processing CSV files containing lines longer than available memory. The CSV reader's nextSplit() function calls bufio.Reader.ReadBytes('\n') with no size limit, buffering the entire input in memory until a newline is found. A CSV file with no newline characters causes the entire contents to be read into a single allocation, leading to an OOM crash of the MinIO server process. This is exploitable by any authenticated user with s3:PutObject and s3:GetObject permissions. The attack is especially practical when combined with compression: a ~2 MB gzip-compressed CSV can decompress to gigabytes of data without newlines, allowing a small upload to cause large memory consumption on the server. However, compression is not required — a sufficiently large uncompressed CSV with no newlines triggers the same issue.

GHSA-h749-fxx7-pwpg — MinIO affected a DoS via Unbounded Memory Allocation in S3 Select CSV Parsing

Affected: Go: github.com/minio/minio

### Impact

_What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_

MinIO's S3 Select feature is vulnerable to memory exhaustion when processing CSV files containing lines longer than available memory. The CSV reader's `nextSplit()` function calls `bufio.Reader.ReadBytes('\n')` with no size limit, buffering the entire input in memory until a newline is found. A CSV file with no newline characters causes the entire contents to be read into a single allocation, leading to an OOM crash of the MinIO server process.

This is exploitable by any authenticated user with `s3:PutObject` and `s3:GetObject` permissions. The attack is especially practical when combined with compression: a ~2 MB gzip-compressed CSV can decompress to gigabytes of data without newlines, allowing a small upload to cause large memory consumption on the server. However, compression is not required — a sufficiently large uncompressed CSV with no newlines triggers the same issue.

**Affected component:** `internal/s3select/csv/reader.go`, function `nextSplit()`.

**CWE:** CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling)

### Affected Versions

All MinIO releases are through the final release of the minio/minio open-source project.

The vulnerability was introduced in commit https://github.com/minio/minio/commit/7c14cdb60e53dbfdad2be644dfb180cab19fffa7, which added S3 Select support for CSV. The CSV reader has used unbounded line reads since this commit (originally via Go's stdlib `encoding…
