CVE-2026-44160

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Prior to 1.19.3, Fluentd's in_http and in_forward plugins support gzip-compressed data but enforce limits only on compressed payloads through settings such as body_size_limit and chunk_size_limit, allowing crafted compressed payloads to decompress in memory to an excessive size and cause denial of service through memory exhaustion. This issue is fixed in version 1.19.3.

Antes de la versión 1.19.3, los plugins in_http e in_forward de Fluentd soportan datos comprimidos con gzip, pero aplican límites solo a las cargas útiles comprimidas a través de configuraciones como body_size_limit y chunk_size_limit, permitiendo que cargas útiles comprimidas elaboradas se descompriman en memoria a un tamaño excesivo y causen denegación de servicio a través del agotamiento de la memoria. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 1.19.3."
