Summary 

In snappy-java the stream chunk processing implementation uses a user controlled value to define the size of an allocated array. A remote attacker may abuse this by creating a crafted input stream that causes an extremely large array to be allocated, or a negative array size to be used. Both cases result in an exception being thrown and result in denial-of-service (DoS).
