CVE-2026-52879

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. In versions 1.7.14 through 1.7.17, the direct-message ingress handler spawns a new goroutine for every incoming direct message before the processor-level antiflood layer makes any admission decision, with no semaphore, throttler, or bound on the number of concurrent in-flight spawns. Because the antiflood check runs inside the spawned goroutine rather than before it, a single connected peer can open a direct-send stream and send a stream of well-formed messages to force unbounded goroutine creation, where each goroutine allocates its own stack and holds a message reference until processing completes, adding scheduler and garbage-collection pressure faster than the runtime can drain it. This lets one peer degrade the node's availability and its ability to process legitimate traffic, resulting in a remotely triggerable denial of service. The issue is fixed in 1.7.18.

      "value": "Klever-Go es la implementación en Go del protocolo blockchain de Klever. En las versiones 1.7.14 a la 1.7.17, el gestor de entrada de mensajes directos crea una nueva goroutine para cada mensaje directo entrante antes de que la capa antiflood a nivel de procesador tome cualquier decisión de admisión, sin semáforo, limitador o límite en el número de creaciones concurrentes en curso. Debido a que la verificación antiflood se ejecuta dentro de la goroutine creada en lugar de antes de ella, un único par conectado puede abrir un flujo de envío directo y enviar un flujo de mensajes bien formados para forzar la creación ilimitada de goroutines, donde cada goroutine asigna su propia pila y mantiene una referencia al mensaje hasta que el procesamiento se completa, añadiendo presión al planificador y a la recolección de basura más rápido de lo que el tiempo de ejecución puede drenarla. Esto permite que un par degrade la disponibilidad del nodo y su capacidad para procesar tráfico legítimo, resultando en una denegación de servicio que puede ser activada remotamente. El problema está solucionado en la 1.7.18."
