MessagePack for C# is a MessagePack serializer for C#. Prior to 2.5.301 and 3.1.7, InterfaceLookupFormatter constructs an internal Dictionary> with the default equality comparer instead of the security-aware comparer supplied by options.Security.GetEqualityComparer(). This formatter omission allows hash-collision CPU denial of service against ILookup even when the application has opted into the untrusted-data security posture This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.301 and 3.1.7.
