CVE-2026-44160 PUBLISHED

Fluentd: Denial of Service (DoS) via Gzip Decompression Bomb in `in_http` and `in_forward`

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 05.05.2026 Published: 08.07.2026 Updated: 08.07.2026

Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Prior to 1.19.3, Fluentd's in_http and in_forward plugins support gzip-compressed data but enforce limits only on compressed payloads through settings such as body_size_limit and chunk_size_limit, allowing crafted compressed payloads to decompress in memory to an excessive size and cause denial of service through memory exhaustion. This issue is fixed in version 1.19.3.
