+ <h2 id="vulnerability">Vulnerability</h2>
+
+ <p>CVE-2024-47072: XStream is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack due to stack overflow from a manipulated
+ binary input stream.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="affected_versions">Affected Versions</h2>
+
+ <p>All versions until and including version 1.4.20 are affected, if using XStream's BinaryStreamDriver.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="description">Description</h2>
+
+ <p>XStream provides a BinaryStreamDriver with an own optimized serialization format. The format uses ids for
+ string values as deduplication. The mapping for these ids are created on-the-fly at marshalling time. At
+ unmarshalling time the reader's implementation simply used a simple one-time recursion after reading a mapping
+ token to process the next normal token of the data stream. However, an endless recursion could be triggered with
+ manipulated input data resulting in a stack overflow causing a denial of service.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="reproduction">Steps to Reproduce</h2>
+
+ <p>Prepare the manipulated data and provide it as input for a XStream instance using the BinaryDriver:</p>
+<div class="Source Java"><pre>final byte[] byteArray = new byte[36000];
+for (int i = 0; i &lt; byteArray.length / 4; i++) {
+ byteArray[i * 4] = 10;
+ byteArray[i * 4 + 1] = -127;
+ byteArray[i * 4 + 2] = 0;
+ byteArray[i * 4 + 3] = 0;
+}
+
+XStream xstream = new XStream(new BinaryStreamDriver());
+xstream.fromXML(new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray));
+</pre></div>
+
+ <p>As soon as the data gets unmarshalled, the endless recursion is entered and the executing thread is aborted with
+ a stack overflow error.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="impact">Impact</h2>
+
+ <p>The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error resulting
+ in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream if the instance is setup with a
+ BinaryStreamDriver.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="workarounds">Workarounds</h2>
+
+ <p>A simple solution is to catch the StackOverflowError in the client code calling XStream. There's no other known
+ workaround when using the BinaryStreamDriver.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="credits">Credits</h2>
+
+ <p>Alexis Challande of Trail Of Bits found and reported the issue to XStream and provided the required information to reproduce it.</p>
