CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedValhalla, an open-source routing engine for OpenStreetMap data, is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack due to unbounded memory growth triggered by a specific POST request containing a zero-area geometry. This flaw allows an unauthenticated user to crash a public-facing worker, potentially disrupting service availability. Organizations using Valhalla versions 3.7.0 and earlier should prioritize immediate mitigation efforts, as no fix is currently available.

Original NVD Description
Valhalla is an open source routing engine and accompanying libraries for use with OpenStreetMap data. In 3.7.0 and earlier, a POST request to /sources_to_targets containing an exclude_polygons ring formed by three collinear points can cause unbounded memory growth in the worker. The zero-area geometry, rather than the other request options, triggers processing in src/loki/polygon_search.cc until the process is terminated by the out-of-memory killer. A single unauthenticated request can therefore stop a public-facing worker. Other endpoints that accept exclude_polygons, including /route, were not verified as affected. No fixed version is available as of this review.
