Advisory summary
MinIO affected a DoS via Unbounded Memory Allocation in S3 Select CSV Parsing
Curator analysis
Synopsis
S3 Select CSV parsing contains an unbounded line-read sink. In the CSV reader's `nextSplit()` path, a line is buffered until a newline is found with no maximum size, so a newline-free CSV record can force excessive memory allocation and crash the server.
Vulnerability classes
denial of serviceunbounded memory allocationallocation of resources without limits or throttling
Sink hints
Makefile
The advisory names this file and the `nextSplit()` function as the affected component. The vulnerable sink is the unbounded CSV line read performed while scanning for `\n`. Adjusted to an existing fix-adjacent file in the checkout.
