CVE-2026-44302: CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') in brantburnett Snappier
Snappier is a high performance C# implementation of the Snappy compression algorithm. Prior to 1.3.1, Snappier.SnappyStream enters an uncatchable infinite loop when decompressing a malformed framed-format Snappy stream as small as 15 bytes. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Snappier versions before 1.3.1 contain a loop with an unreachable exit condition (CWE-835) in the SnappyStream decompression code. When processing a malformed framed-format Snappy stream, the decompression enters an infinite loop that cannot be caught or interrupted, leading to a denial of service. This issue is resolved in Snappier version 1.3.1.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability causes a denial of service by triggering an infinite loop during decompression of a malformed Snappy stream. This can lead to resource exhaustion and application unavailability. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to Snappier version 1.3.1 or later, where this infinite loop vulnerability is fixed. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor stating the issue is resolved in version 1.3.1. No other mitigations are indicated.
