cbor2 provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 8949) serialization format. Starting in version 5.5.1 and prior to version 5.6.2, an attacker can crash a service using cbor2 to parse a CBOR binary by sending a long enough object. Version 5.6.2 contains a patch for this issue.

Inefficient algorithmic complexity in DecodeFromBytes function in com.upokecenter.cbor Java implementation of Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) versions 4.0.0 to 4.5.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by passing a maliciously crafted input. Depending on an application's use of this library, this may be a remote attacker.

PeterO.Cbor versions 4.0.0 through 4.5.0 are vulnerable to a denial of service vulnerability. An attacker may trigger the denial of service condition by providing crafted data to the DecodeFromBytes or other decoding mechanisms in PeterO.Cbor. Depending on the usage of the library, an unauthenticated and remote attacker may be able to cause the denial of service condition.

An issue was discovered in the serde_cbor crate before 0.10.2 for Rust. The CBOR deserializer can cause stack consumption via nested semantic tags.

A memory corruption vulnerability in Objective Open CBOR Run-time (oocborrt) in versions before 2020-08-12 could allow an attacker to execute code via crafted Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) input to the cbor2json decoder. An uncaught error while decoding CBOR Major Type 3 text strings leads to the use of an attacker-controllable uninitialized stack value. This can be used to modify memory, causing a crash or potentially exploitable heap corruption.
