What it is

Nerdbank.MessagePack is a NativeAOT-compatible MessagePack serialization library. Prior to 1.1.62, Nerdbank.MessagePack contains an uncontrolled stack allocation vulnerability in DateTime decoding. A malicious MessagePack payload can declare an oversized timestamp extension length, causing the reader to allocate an attacker-controlled number of bytes on the stack. This can trigger a StackOverflowException, which is not catchable by user code and terminates the process. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.62.
