{"id":"CVE-2026-48044","summary":"Envoy Zstd Decompressor: Ratio Check at Wrong Loop Depth lead to memory explosion","details":"Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. From 1.23.0 until 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3, and 1.38.1, a  vulnerability has been identified in Envoy's zstd decompressor implementation (ZstdDecompressorImpl). When zstd decompression is enabled, processing a specially crafted, highly compressed zstd payload can lead to massive memory allocation. An attacker can exploit this to cause severe memory exhaustion, potentially resulting in an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) kill and Denial of Service (DoS) for the Envoy proxy. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3, and 1.38.1.","aliases":["BIT-envoy-2026-48044","GHSA-m3p9-47wh-88wg"],"modified":"2026-07-15T01:48:52.294276578Z","published":"2026-06-26T17:31:37.602Z","related":["openSUSE-SU-2026:11141-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/48xxx/CVE-2026-48044.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-409"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/48xxx/CVE-2026-48044.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/security/advisories/GHSA-m3p9-47wh-88wg"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-48044"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy","events":[{"introduced":"ce49c7f65668a22b80d1e83c35d170741bb8d46a"},{"fixed":"adb998f2875986005be294d10231a9c9a497e30d"},{"introduced":"63ee0dc79dce88117c6bd2df5a742f8eb67ea980"},{"fixed":"57198c441a298a75097c690726d90974549a9778"},{"introduced":"6d9bb7d9a85d616b220d1f8fe67b61f82bbdb8d3"},{"fixed":"f97695a50e11f5ff6719e129a466bf9204b64a7f"},{"introduced":"f1dd21b16c244bda00edfb5ffce577e12d0d2ec2"},{"fixed":"0ebfcfe5b0484b89ca85b761da9e05ce75dbda8d"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"1.23.0"},{"fixed":"1.35.13"},{"introduced":"1.36.0"},{"fixed":"1.36.9"},{"introduced":"1.37.0"},{"fixed":"1.37.5"},{"introduced":"1.38.0"},{"fixed":"1.38.3"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE","cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:envoyproxy:envoy:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"}}],"versions":["v1.38.2","v1.37.4","v1.36.8","v1.35.12","v1.38.1","v1.37.3","v1.36.7","v1.35.11","v1.38.0","v1.37.2","v1.36.6","v1.35.10","v1.37.1","v1.36.5","v1.35.9","v1.37.0","v1.36.4","v1.35.8","v1.36.3","v1.35.7","v1.35.6","v1.36.2","v1.36.1","v1.35.5","v1.36.0","v1.35.4","v1.35.3","v1.35.2","v1.35.1","v1.35.0","v1.34.0","v1.33.0","v1.32.0","v1.31.0","v1.30.0","v1.29.0","v1.28.0","v1.27.0","v1.26.0","v1.25.0","v1.24.0","v1.23.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-48044.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
