CVE-2026-62370: KubeEdge: Unbounded allocation in viaduct packer enables authenticated remote DoS against CloudHub

KubeEdge CloudHub uses the viaduct packer to decode messages received from connected peers. The packer reads a 32-bit payload length from the message header and previously allocated a buffer of that size without enforcing an upper bound.

An authenticated peer that can establish a viaduct connection to CloudHub can send a crafted message header containing an excessively large payload length. This may cause CloudHub to allocate a large amount of memory and can result in memory exhaustion, process termination, or denial of service.
