recorded together · two weakness classes
Denial of Service and Misconfiguration and Insecure Design
3 CVEs
3 CVEs name a weakness of both Denial of Service and Misconfiguration and Insecure Design, too few to compare with chance. The pairing most often behind it is CWE-770 (Allocation Without Limits) with CWE-1188 (Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default), in 2 CVEs.
Every dot is a CVE whose record names a weakness from both classes, neither being the other's parent in the CWE hierarchy. The named ones come first: exploited in the wild, then those with a public check, then the likeliest to be.
- CVEs that carry a weakness of both
- 3
- Chance alone would give
- about 27
- So they are recorded together
- too few CVEs to say
A CVE counts when its record names a weakness from each class, neither being the other's parent. It says the two kinds of flaw are recorded together in one vulnerability more or less often than chance: not that one causes the other, and it follows how the people who file CVEs choose CWEs.
How this is weighed, and the sources
Chance is what the two classes' shares of all CVEs that carry weaknesses of two or more classes would give if weaknesses paired at random. A line is drawn on the dial from 25 CVEs and 1.15 times chance. Weaknesses are the CWEs the CVE List and NVD record; exploitation is CISA KEV, likelihood is EPSS.
Every one of the 3 is a mark on the map. Named now: 1 to 3, most at risk first.
- MIME::Parser versions before 5.521 for Perl set no limit on the number of message parts by default, allowing memory exhaustion
- Netty has a Vulnerable Default Configuration Which Leads to Denial of Service via Unbounded HTTP/3 Header Size
- Apache Thrift: Python `TJSONProtocol` has a string length limit that is off by default
exploited in the wildcheck availableringed, named or not: CyberSIXT has reported on it
Zoom in on the map and the dots under the middle of it are named where they are.
