{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2022-3510","details":"A parsing issue similar to CVE-2022-3171, but with Message-Type Extensions in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.","modified":"2026-05-26T21:30:06.643558671Z","published":"2022-12-12T13:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-3510"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-3510"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-3510"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"protobuf","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/protobuf?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.4.1-3ubuntu2","2.4.1-3ubuntu3","2.4.1-3ubuntu4","2.5.0-5ubuntu2","2.5.0-7ubuntu1","2.5.0-8ubuntu1","2.5.0-9ubuntu1","2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"libprotobuf-java"},{"binary_version":"2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"libprotobuf-lite8"},{"binary_version":"2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"libprotobuf8"},{"binary_version":"2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"libprotoc8"},{"binary_version":"2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"protobuf-compiler"},{"binary_version":"2.5.0-9ubuntu1+esm1","binary_name":"python-protobuf"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-3510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"protobuf","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/protobuf?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.6.1-1.2","2.6.1-1.3","2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm1","2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm2","2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"libprotobuf-java"},{"binary_version":"2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"libprotobuf-lite9v5"},{"binary_version":"2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"libprotobuf9v5"},{"binary_version":"2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"libprotoc9v5"},{"binary_version":"2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"protobuf-compiler"},{"binary_version":"2.6.1-1.3ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"python-protobuf"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-3510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"protobuf","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/protobuf?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.0.0-9ubuntu5","3.0.0-9ubuntu6","3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1","3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1","3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm3","3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"libprotobuf-java"},{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"libprotobuf-lite10"},{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"libprotobuf10"},{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"libprotoc10"},{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"protobuf-compiler"},{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"python-protobuf"},{"binary_version":"3.0.0-9.1ubuntu1.1+esm4","binary_name":"python3-protobuf"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-3510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"protobuf","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/protobuf?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.6.1.3-2","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu1","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu3","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu4","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm2","3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"libprotobuf-java"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"libprotobuf-lite17"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"libprotobuf17"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"libprotoc17"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"protobuf-compiler"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"python-protobuf"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"python3-protobuf"},{"binary_version":"3.6.1.3-2ubuntu5.2+esm3","binary_name":"ruby-google-protobuf"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-3510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"protobuf","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/protobuf?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.12.4-1ubuntu3","3.12.4-1ubuntu5","3.12.4-1ubuntu6","3.12.4-1ubuntu7","3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.04.1","3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.04.2","3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.04.4","3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.04.6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.04.6","binary_name":"elpa-protobuf-mode"},{"binary_version":"3.12.4-1ubuntu7.22.04.6","binary_name":"libprotobuf-java"},{"binary_version":"
