Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Kibana (affected versions not specified)
Description
Improper handling of highly compressed data can lead to a denial of service via excessive allocation. An authenticated user with Streams management privileges can provide specially crafted content that expands significantly during processing, exhausting the available memory. This causes the host to terminate the Kibana process, making the service unavailable to all users until it is restarted.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
