Vulnerability Data

Turms AI-Serving module v0.10.0-SNAPSHOT and earlier contains an image decompression bomb denial of service vulnerability. The ExtendedOpenCVImage class in ai/djl/opencv/ExtendedOpenCVImage.java loads images using OpenCV's imread() function without validating dimensions or pixel count before decompression. An attacker can upload a specially…

more

crafted compressed image file (e.g., PNG) that is small when compressed but expands to gigabytes of memory when loaded. This causes immediate memory exhaustion, OutOfMemoryError, and service crash. No authentication is required if the OCR service is publicly accessible. Multiple requests can completely deny service availability.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation can reject or limit decompression of data whose expansion ratio exceeds safe thresholds.

DoS protection limits the resource-exhaustion impact when a decompression bomb is processed.

Resource allocation controls bound memory/CPU consumption that a data-amplification attack would otherwise exhaust.

Redundancy helps availability but does not address the root cause of the weakness.

finds

Monitoring can detect anomalous resource usage but does not prevent the weakness.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes input validation and resource-limit checks that mitigate data-amplification attacks.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate limits on decompression size and ratio.

prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage defensive design against resource-exhaustion threats.
