CVE-2026-67199
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Perspective 5.0.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows remote attackers to block the server event loop indefinitely by submitting a crafted expression containing unbounded for or while loop constructs in a TableMakeViewReq message. Attackers can embed an arbitrarily large iteration count in an expression column evaluated once per table row, causing the Tornado IOLoop to block without any iteration cap, deadline, or cancellation check, rendering the server unresponsive to all connected clients.

Los atacantes pueden incrustar un recuento de iteraciones arbitrariamente grande en una columna de expresión evaluada una vez por fila de tabla, haciendo que el Tornado IOLoop se bloquee sin ningún límite de iteración, fecha límite o verificación de cancelación, dejando al servidor sin respuesta para todos los clientes conectados."
