avro vulnerable to denial of service via attacker-controlled parameter
A well-crafted string passed to avro's github.com/hamba/avro/v2.Unmarshal() can throw a fatal error: runtime: out of memory which is unrecoverable and can cause denial of service of the consumer of avro.
The root cause of the issue is that avro uses part of the input to Unmarshal() to determine the size when creating a new slice.
In the reproducer below, the first few bytes determine the size of the slice.
The root cause is on line 239 here: https://github.com/hamba/avro/blob/3abfe1e6382c5dccf2e1a00260c51a64bc1f1ca1/reader.go#L216-L242
The issue was found during a security audit of Dapr, and I attach a reproducer that shows how the issue affects Dapr.
Dapr uses an older version of the avro library, but it is also affected if bumping avro to latest.
To reproduce:
cd /tmp git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/dapr/components-contrib cd components-contrib/pubsub/pulsar
now add this test to the pulsar_test.go:
func TestParsePublishMetadata2(t *testing.T) { m := &pubsub.PublishRequest{} m.Data = []byte{246, 255, 255, 255, 255, 10, 255, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32} _, _ = parsePublishMetadata(m, schemaMetadata{protocol: avroProtocol, value: "bytes"}) }
run the test with go test -run=TestParsePublishMetadata2.
You should see this stacktrace:

Any use case of the avro Unmarshalling routine that accepts untrusted input is affected.
The impact is that an attacker can crash the running application and cause denial of service.
