Doc Text:
A flaw was found in protobuf-java. Google Protocol Buffer (protobuf-java) allows the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields. By persuading a victim to open specially-crafted content, a remote attacker could cause a timeout in the ProtobufFuzzer function, resulting in a denial of service.

Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2022-01-12 17:17:41 UTC 
An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the vulnerable versions.
