CVE-2021-32781

Описание

Envoy is an open source L7 proxy and communication bus designed for large modern service oriented architectures. In affected versions after Envoy sends a locally generated response it must stop further processing of request or response data. However when local response is generated due the internal buffer overflow while request or response is processed by the filter chain the operation may not be stopped completely and result in accessing a freed memory block. A specifically constructed request delivered by an untrusted downstream or upstream peer in the presence of extensions that modify and increase the size of request or response bodies resulting in a Denial of Service when using extensions that modify and increase the size of request or response bodies, such as decompressor filter. Envoy versions 1.19.1, 1.18.4, 1.17.4, 1.16.5 contain fixes to address incomplete termination of request processing after locally generated response. As a workaround disable Envoy's decompressor, json-transcoder or grpc-web extensions or proprietary extensions that modify and increase the size of request or response bodies, if feasible.

An out-of-bounds memory read vulnerability was found in envoyproxy/envoy. When using one of the following envoy extensions, it is possible to modify and increase the request or response body size of the following: the decompressor, json-transcoder, grpc-web, or other proprietary extensions. This flaw allows an attacker to read invalid memory and cause envoy to crash, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
