Описание

pgjdbc is an open source postgresql JDBC Driver. From version 42.2.0 to before version 42.7.11, pgjdbc is vulnerable to a client-side denial of service during SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication. A malicious server can instruct the driver to perform SCRAM authentication with a very large iteration count. With a large enough value, the client spends an unbounded amount of CPU time inside PBKDF2 before authentication can fail. A single attempt ties up a CPU core. Repeated or concurrent attempts exhaust client CPU and can wedge connection pools. In affected versions, loginTimeout did not fully mitigate this problem. When loginTimeout expired, the caller could stop waiting, but the worker thread performing the connection attempt could continue running and burning CPU inside the SCRAM PBKDF2 computation. This issue has been patched in version 42.7.11.

A flaw was found in pgjdbc, an open-source PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. A malicious server can exploit this vulnerability by instructing the driver to perform SCRAM-SHA-256 (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism Secure Hash Algorithm 256) authentication with an excessively large iteration count. This causes the client to spend an unbounded amount of CPU time performing PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) computations, leading to a client-side Denial of Service (DoS). This can exhaust client CPU resources and wedge connection pools.
