Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an uncontrolled recursion issue in Samsung's rlottie library caused by serialized data with nested payloads. The library did not properly limit recursion depth during parsing of deeply nested 'gr' (group) objects, allowing unbounded recursion that could lead to stack overflow or excessive resource consumption.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires checking the version of rlottie in use. Commands like 'find / -name "rlottie*" -type f' or 'ldconfig -p | grep rlottie' can help locate the library. Compare the version against the patched commit 8de0d9e6ca80ffef654965505981727b9fa06a51.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this by crafting a file with deeply nested structures to crash applications using rlottie, causing denial of service or potential code execution if stack overflow occurs. Users processing such files may experience system slowdowns or crashes.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability does not directly affect compliance with GDPR or HIPAA as it is a technical issue related to resource exhaustion in a library. However, if exploited, it could lead to denial-of-service conditions, potentially impacting system availability required by these standards.

Mitigation Strategies

Update rlottie to the latest version or apply the patch from the pull request. If updating is not possible, restrict parsing of untrusted files or implement input validation to limit nesting depth to 32 levels.
