CVE-2026-93572
Description
## Summary `RedisArrayAggregator` recently added `maxElements` and `maxNestedArrayDepth` limits to fix public Redis resource-exhaustion advisories. The limits are independent, but the allocator remains eager: every positive nested RESP array header creates `new ArrayList<RedisMessage>(length)` before any child element exists. With the default constructor, an attacker can send nested array headers with length `1,000,000` until the default nesting limit of `1024` is reached. This can reserve up to `1,024,000,000` child slots from roughly 12 KB of RESP input. This is backing capacity, not logical list size: `ArrayList(int)` constructs an empty list with the specified initial capacity. ## Technical Details Current `decodeRedisArrayHeader(...)` checks the two limits independently: ```java if (header.length() > maxElements) { throw new CodecException("this codec doesn't support longer length than " + maxElements); } if (depths.size() >= maxNestedArrayDepth) { releaseAndClearDepths(); throw new CodecException("max nested array depth exceeded: " + maxNestedArrayDepth); } depths.push(new AggregateState((int) header.length())); ``` `AggregateState` i
