CVE-2026-83663 - Apache Thrift: TFramedTransport and THeaderTransport re-enter Read once per frame that carries no payload (Go)

CVE ID :CVE-2026-83663
Published : Oct. 2, 2026, 12:18 p.m. | 55 minutes ago
Description :Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in Apache Thrift go bindings. Both Go transports satisfy a read out of a buffered frame and, when that frame yields no payload bytes, read the next frame and call `Read` again instead of looping. A peer produces such a frame for 4 bytes in `TFramedTransport` (a declared size of zero) or 18 bytes in `THeaderTransport` (a header block that fills the frame), so nothing bounds the depth. The Go stack limit is reached as a `fatal error`, which `recover()` cannot catch, so the whole process dies. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.25.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.25.0, which fixes the issue.
Severity: 8.7 | HIGH
