CVE-2023-35945

Описание

Envoy is a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. Envoy’s HTTP/2 codec may leak a header map and bookkeeping structures upon receiving RST_STREAM immediately followed by the GOAWAY frames from an upstream server. In nghttp2, cleanup of pending requests due to receipt of the GOAWAY frame skips de-allocation of the bookkeeping structure and pending compressed header. The error return [code path] is taken if connection is already marked for not sending more requests due to GOAWAY frame. The clean-up code is right after the return statement, causing memory leak. Denial of service through memory exhaustion. This vulnerability was patched in versions(s) 1.26.3, 1.25.8, 1.24.9, 1.23.11.

A flaw was found in Envoy, where a specifically crafted response from an untrusted upstream service can cause a denial of service through memory exhaustion. This issue is caused by Envoy’s HTTP/2 codec, which may leak a header map and bookkeeping structures upon receiving RST_STREAM immediately, followed by the GOAWAY frames from an upstream server.
