CVE-2025-54472
August 14, 2025
Unlimited memory allocation in redis protocol parser in Apache bRPC (all versions < 1.14.1) on all platforms allows
attackers to crash the service via network. In the bRPC Redis protocol parser code, memory for arrays or strings of corresponding sizes is allocated
based on the integers read from the network. If the integer read from the network is too large, it may cause a bad
alloc error and lead to the program crashing. Attackers can exploit this feature by sending special data packets to the
bRPC service to carry out a denial-of-service attack on it.
The bRPC 1.14.0 version tried to fix this issue by limited the memory allocation size, however, the limitation checking
code is not well implemented that may cause integer overflow and evade such limitation. So the 1.14.0 version is also
vulnerable, although the integer range that affect version 1.14.0 is different from that affect version < 1.14.0.
