When we inflate incoming data, the filter does not control the resulting size, and create a buffer no matter what.\n\nSome compressed data may have a compression ration greater than 1 thousand, leading to an exhaustion of the application memory, as we don't control the deflated size.\n\n\n\n\nThe fix adds such a control by allowing the application developer to provide a fixed size limit, which when reached throws an exception. It also allows the user to provide a compression ratio that should not be exceeded, protected the application from small inflated files that inflate in gigantic files, but with a grace limit for the resulting size (1Mb) to avoid false positive (like a very small file inflating with a high ratio, but resulting with a acceptable size, like a few thousands bytes)\n\n\n\n\nFor application using this feature, it is highly recommended to create the CompressionFilter and to pass the maximum limit as a forth constructor parameter, maxDecompressedSize:\n\n\n\n\npublic CompressionFilter(final boolean compressInbound, final boolean compressOutbound, final int compressionLevel, final int maxDecompressedSize)Optionally one can also provide a maxDecompressRatio fifth parameter, and a decompressRatioMinSize sixth parameter to allow small inflated files with a high compression ratio to still be accepted.\n\n\n\n\nHere are the additional constructor:\n\n\n\n\n\n\npublic CompressionFilter(final boolean compressInbound, final boolean compressOutbound,\n\n\n\n            final int compressionLevel, final int maxDecompressedSize,\n\n\n\n            final long maxDecompressRatio, final long decompressRatioMinSize)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlso note that a fluent API has been added to spare the users the pain to call a constructor with that many parameters:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n CompressionFilter compressionFilter = new CompressionFilter()\n\n                                                .setCompressionLevel(Zlib.COMPRESSION_MAX)\n\n                                                .setMaxDecompressedSize(1_000_000)\n\n                                                .setMaxDecompressRatio(100).\n\n                                                .setDecompressRatioMinSize(100_000); \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplications using Apache MINA are advised to upgrade and configure their CompressionFilter instance.","published":"2026-09-21T08:16:38.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-21T19:17:06.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-409","CWE-789"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00488,"percentile":0.41719,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.00291,"percentile":0.21841}]},"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 (0.49%).
