Description

msgpack-java through 0.9.12 contains a stack overflow vulnerability in MessageUnpacker.unpackValue() that recursively deserializes arrays and maps without nesting depth limits. Attackers can craft payloads with deeply nested arrays to exhaust the deserializing thread's stack and trigger StackOverflowError, causing per-request deserialization failures.
