AI-suggested

Upgrade to snappy-java version 1.1.10.9 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by validating the declared uncompressed length. As a workaround, before decompressing untrusted data, applications should check that Snappy.uncompressedLength(input) is within an application-specific acceptable limit to prevent excessive memory allocation.

Description

Several decompression functions in snappy-java versions prior to 1.1.10.9 allocate memory based on the uncompressed length declared in the compressed data without proper validation. This can lead to excessive memory allocation up to 2 GB or trigger exceptions, causing denial of service. The issue affects multiple entry points including Snappy.uncompress methods and input streams. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.1.10.9 by validating and limiting the declared uncompressed length relative to the compressed input size.
