A malicious, compromised, or man-in-the-middle SQL Server can send a continuous stream of TDS packets without setting the END_OF_MESSAGE status flag, causing unbounded direct-memory allocation on the client and leading to an out-of-memory crash. This occurs before authentication completes.\n\n\n\nThe impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-mssql-client.","published":"2026-10-15T09:17:15.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-20T19:29:18.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"emo@eclipse.org","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":8.2,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-400"],"affected":["eclipse/vert.x"],"epss":{"score":0.00321,"percentile":0.24895,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-15","score":0.00316,"percentile":0.22865}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.32%).
