{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-65627","details":"Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification) vulnerability in potatosalad jose (erlang-jose) allows a remote attacker to exhaust a node's memory with a small crafted JWE token.  The jose_jwe_zip:uncompress/2 function in src/jwe/jose_jwe_zip.erl decompresses the DEFLATE-compressed plaintext of a JWE that carries the optional zip: DEF header by calling zlib:inflate/2 on the entire attacker-controlled stream, with no bound on the output size or the inflation ratio. Raw DEFLATE reaches ratios around 1000:1 on highly repetitive input, so a few-kilobyte token inflates to hundreds of megabytes or gigabytes in a single call.  Decompression runs automatically during decryption through jose_jwe:block_decrypt/2 (JOSE.JWE.block_decrypt/2 in Elixir), before the recipient can inspect or reject the payload. With the common asymmetric key-management algorithms (RSA-OAEP, ECDH-ES) an attacker needs only the recipient's public key to craft such a token, so no authentication or secret material is required. A single small token can exhaust the node's memory and crash the BEAM, denying service to all users.  This issue affects jose: from 1.0.0 before 1.11.13.","modified":"2026-10-27T17:00:07.797107556Z","published":"2026-10-26T20:17:58.290Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-65627"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-65627"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"erlang-jose","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/erlang-jose?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.11.10-1","1.11.10-1~bpo12+1","1.11.12-1","1.11.12-1.1","1.11.12-2","1.11.12-2~bpo13+1","1.11.12-3","1.11.12-3~bpo13+1","1.11.5-1","1.11.6-1","1.11.6-1~bpo12+1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-65627.json"}},{"package":{"name":"erlang-jose","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/erlang-jose?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.11.10-1","1.11.12-1","1.11.12-1.1","1.11.12-2","1.11.12-2~bpo13+1","1.11.12-3","1.11.12-3~bpo13+1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-65627.json"}},{"package":{"name":"erlang-jose","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/erlang-jose?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.11.10-1","1.11.12-1","1.11.12-1.1","1.11.12-2","1.11.12-2~bpo13+1","1.11.12-3","1.11.12-3~bpo13+1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-65627.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
