Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenMcdf versions prior to 3.1.4
Description A denial of service occurs when processing a specially crafted Compound File Binary (CFB) file. The issue resides in the BST name-lookup loop within the DirectoryTree.TryGetDirectoryEntry() function, which repeatedly calls directories.TryGetSibling(child, siblingType, validateColor). If a CFB file contains cyclic Left/Right sibling links that satisfy the BST-order check in TryGetSibling(), the while (child is not null) loop runs indefinitely because there is no cycle detection in DirectoryTree.TryGetDirectoryEntry(). This behavior is triggered when using the following functions:
  • RootStorage.OpenStorage(name)
  • RootStorage.TryOpenStorage(name)
  • RootStorage.OpenStream(name)
  • RootStorage.TryOpenStream(name)
Recommendations Update to version 3.1.4.
