In Apache ORC 1.0.0 to 1.4.3 a malformed ORC file can trigger an endlessly recursive function call in the C++ or Java parser. The impact of this bug is most likely denial-of-service against software that uses the ORC file parser. With the C++ parser, the stack overflow might possibly corrupt the stack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Apache ORC versions 1.0.0 through 1.4.3 can crash or hang when processing a malformed ORC file. The main business risk is denial of service in applications or data pipelines that parse untrusted ORC data. The C++ parser may have additional stack-corruption risk, but the source does not confirm code execution. Exposure is most likely in analytics, ingestion, ETL, or storage systems using Apache ORC 1.0.0 through 1.4.3 to parse files supplied by users, partners, or automated data feeds. Treat as a focused availability risk. Prioritize externally influenced data pipelines and customer-facing processing paths first. The available evidence does not support emergency treatment for active exploitation, but vulnerable parsers handling untrusted files should be remediated promptly. Mitigation focus: Inventory Apache ORC versions across Java and C++ dependencies.; Prioritize systems that parse ORC files from external or semi-trusted sources.; Check Apache ORC advisory guidance before selecting an upgrade target..
