JRuby denial of service via Hash Collision
GHSA-fmmq-j7pq-f85c · CVE-2012-5370
Published · Modified
Description
JRuby computes hash values without properly restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table, as demonstrated by a universal multicollision attack against the MurmurHash2 algorithm, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-4838.
