CWE ID Description
CWE-1284 The product receives input that is expected to specify a quantity (such as size or length), but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the quantity has the required properties.
CWE-770 The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any intended restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated.
CWE-834 The product performs an iteration or loop without sufficiently limiting the number of times that the loop is executed.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves improper validation of input quantity, allocation of resources without limits, and excessive iteration in Apache Thrift PHP bindings. It allows attackers to consume excessive system resources, potentially leading to denial of service or system crashes.

Detection Guidance

Detection involves checking Apache Thrift versions and monitoring for excessive resource usage. Verify installed versions with 'thrift --version' or check package managers like 'dpkg -l | grep thrift' or 'rpm -qa | grep thrift'. Monitor system logs for unusual resource consumption or repeated iterations.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to cause high resource consumption, leading to degraded performance or system outages. Systems using vulnerable Apache Thrift versions may become unresponsive or crash under malicious input.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.25.0 or later immediately. If upgrading is not possible, restrict network access to Thrift services and implement rate limiting to prevent excessive iterations. Monitor systems for signs of exploitation.
