Описание
RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. From 3.13.0 until 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6, mechanisms/1 applied list_to_atom/1 to every colon-delimited token in an attacker-controlled auth_mechanism value, permanently consuming Erlang VM atoms and allowing the node to be crashed with a large request. Exploitation requires the Shovel or Federation plugin to be in use, and setting auth_mechanism requires the policymaker tag. This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6.
A flaw was found in rabbitmq-server. An authenticated remote attacker with policymaker privileges can exploit this issue when the Shovel or Federation plugin is enabled by supplying a specially crafted authentication mechanism value. This causes the server to permanently exhaust Erlang virtual machine (VM) memory resources, leading to a node crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This flaw is rated as Moderate severity because successful exploitation requires elevated privileges and relies on non-default broker components. An attacker must already possess policymaker or administrative permissions to specify custom connection authentication parameters. Furthermore, exposure is confined to deployments actively running the Shovel or Federation plugins, and successful exploitation results solely in a denial of service via broker node termination without compromising confidentiality or integrity.
