Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


3) Covert timing channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5388)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient fix for #VU84108 (CVE-2023-4421). A remote attacker can perform Marvin attack and gain access to sensitive information.


4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6476)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to unchecked access to an experimental annotation. A remote user can use the cgroupv2 and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack by consuming all available memory resources.
