CVE-2026-47321
Description
A flaw was found in Apache MINA's CompressionFilter class. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted compressed data. The CompressionFilter does not properly limit the size of decompressed data, which can lead to an uncontrolled increase in memory usage. This can result in memory exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) for the application.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
