    Hi,

    The following vulnerability was published for protobuf.

    CVE-2024-7254[0]:
    | Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data�containing
    | an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP�tags can
    | corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing
    | nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or
    | Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates
    | unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.

    https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/commit/cc8b3483a5584b3301e3d43d17eb59704857ffaa


    If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
    CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

    For further information see:

    [0] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-7254
    https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-7254

    Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.

    Can you please double-check this, I think the issue is not yet fixed (completely) in Debian. Marc Deslauriers pointed out that there are
    commits missing (I updated the tracker now).

    Regards,
    Salvatore

    Is his notes public? I'm checking the commits mentioned in the
    security tracker. It seems the commit mentioned earlier [1] is now
    tracked as another [2] (contents seem to be the same). But then parts
    of it are removed in another mentioned commit [3] with code parts not
    present in 3.21.12 (Sid version).
    It is a bit confusing. I can move the packaging to match these
    changes. Then is there any upstream recommendation which fixes to use
    for a specific release branch? Is there any reproducer for this issue?

    Regards,
    Laszlo/GCS

    The final merge commit from github [1] is what we used to fix this issue in Ubuntu. It should contain all of the relevant commits for the CVE.

    OK, this seems to be the full changes needed. Meanwhile I have
    checked your security update for this issue at: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf/3.21.12-9ubuntu1.1
    That contains five separate patches, but nevermind. Thanks for your update.
