Elasticsearch StackOverflow vulnerability (ESA-2024-14)
A flaw was discovered in Elasticsearch, affecting document ingestion when an index template contains a dynamic field mapping of “passthrough” type. Under certain circumstances, ingesting documents in this index would cause a StackOverflow exception to be thrown and ultimately lead to a Denial of Service. Note that passthrough fields is an experimental feature.
Affected Versions:
Elasticsearch version 8.13.1 through 8.13.4.
Solutions and Mitigations:
The issue is resolved in Elasticsearch 8.14.0.
