Описание
Elasticsearch does not validate a size value taken from a user-supplied input before that value is used to reserve memory for an internal data structure. An authenticated user holding only read privileges can submit a single small crafted request to a product API endpoint that causes the node to attempt an excessively large allocation. The resulting memory exhaustion raises a fatal error that terminates the Elasticsearch node process, causing a denial of service for the affected node and degrading cluster health. The defect is not volumetric, so a single request is sufficient regardless of the heap size configured on the target node.

A flaw was found in Elasticsearch. An authenticated user with read privileges can submit a crafted request that causes the node to attempt an excessively large memory allocation due to unvalidated user input. This memory exhaustion leads to a fatal error, terminating the Elasticsearch node process and causing a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected node. A single request is sufficient to trigger this issue.
