CVE-2021-22569 PoC — Denial of Service of protobuf-java parsing procedure

Source
Associated Vulnerability
Title:Denial of Service of protobuf-java parsing procedure (CVE-2021-22569)
Description:An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the vulnerable versions.
Description
A potential Denial of Service issue in protobuf-java high severity GitHub Reviewed Published 5 days ago in protocolbuffers/protobuf • Updated yesterday Vulnerability details Dependabot alerts 2 Package  com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java (maven) Affected versions < 3.16.1 >= 3.18.0, < 3.18.2 >= 3.19.0, < 3.19.2 Patched versions 3.16.1 3.18.2 3.19.2 Package  com.google.protobuf:protobuf-kotlin (maven) Affected versions >= 3.18.0, < 3.18.2 >= 3.19.0, < 3.19.2 Patched versions 3.18.2 3.19.2 Package  google-protobuf (RubyGems) Affected versions < 3.19.2 Patched versions 3.19.2 Description Summary A potential Denial of Service issue in protobuf-java was discovered in the parsing procedure for binary data.  Reporter: OSS-Fuzz  Affected versions: All versions of Java Protobufs (including Kotlin and JRuby) prior to the versions listed below. Protobuf "javalite" users (typically Android) are not affected.  Severity CVE-2021-22569 High - CVSS Score: 7.5, An implementation weakness in how unknown fields are parsed in Java. A small (~800 KB) malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated GC pauses.  Proof of Concept For reproduction details, please refer to the oss-fuzz issue that identifies the specific inputs that exercise this parsing weakness.
