Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value, Allocation of Resources Without Limits, and Uncontrolled Recursion in the Java implementation of Apache PLC4X (PLC4J) allow a malicious or impersonated device to exhaust the memory or stack of the client application, causing a denial of service.<\/p>\n
In the OPC UA driver these defects are reachable before authentication: the offending data is parsed while the secure channel and session are being established, before the server’s identity has been bound to it. Configuring a trusted server therefore does not prevent exploitation by an attacker who can
\nimpersonate it.<\/p>\n
The individual defects are:
\n– Length-prefixed byte strings are allocated at the size claimed on the wire before the length is checked against the data actually received (0.10.0 through 0.13.1).
\n– Array fields in generated protocol parsers pre-allocate a list with the element count claimed on the wire, allowing a single count field to trigger a multi-gigabyte allocation. This parser is shared by all PLC4J drivers; the OPC UA driver is the verified pre-authentication path (0.10.0 through 0.13.1).
\n– The OPC UA driver accumulates message chunks without enforcing the negotiated maximum chunk count and message size (0.12.0 through 0.13.1).
\n– The OPC UA driver pre-allocates collections using element counts received from the server (0.10.0 through 0.13.1).
\n– Recursive protocol types are parsed without a nesting-depth limit. The same defect in the Go implementation is covered by CVE-2026-102510 https:\/\/cveprocess.apache.org\/cve5\/CVE-2026-102510 .<\/p>\n
This issue affects Apache PLC4X: from 0.10.0 before 1.0.0.<\/p>\n
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.0.0, which fixes the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
