The protobuf crate before 3.7.2 for Rust allows uncontrolled recursion in the protobuf::coded_input_stream::CodedInputStream::skip_group parsing of unknown fields in untrusted input.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
