Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2024-06-12 10:29:38 UTC 
A parsing vulnerability for the MessageSet type in the ProtocolBuffers can lead to out of memory failures. A specially crafted message with multiple key-value per elements creates parsing issues, and can lead to a Denial of Service against services receiving unsanitized input.
