CVE-2019-3564

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Facebook Thrift versions prior to v2019.03.04.00

Description The issue allows malicious clients to send short messages with unknown fields that can take a long time for the server to parse, potentially leading to denial of service. This is because the server does not error upon receiving messages with containers of fields of unknown type and instead attempts to parse them, which can consume significant resources.

Recommendations For Facebook Thrift versions prior to v2019.03.04.00, update to version v2019.03.04.00 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the server to trusted users only to minimize the risk of exploitation.
