A malicious or compromised Redis server, or an attacker in a man-in-the-middle position, can send a crafted RESP response declaring an extremely large array, push, or attribute length, causing the client to attempt a massive heap allocation. The resulting OutOfMemoryError crashes the Vert.x event loop thread, denying service to all connections and verticles sharing that loop.\n\n\n\nThe impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-mysql-client.","published":"2026-10-15T08:16:37.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-20T19:31:15.000Z","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-770"],"affected":["eclipse/vert.x"],"epss":{"score":0.00232,"percentile":0.1395,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-15","score":0.00209,"percentile":0.10413}]},"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 (0.23%).
