RHSA-2023:4625: Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Containers for 2.4.2 security update

Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 2.4.2 Containers Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.This content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Related CVEs:

  • CVE-2023-35941: A flaw was found in Envoy, where a malicious client can construct credentials with permanent validity in a specific scenario. This issue is caused by some rare scenarios, such as the combination of host and expiration time, in which the HMAC payload can always be valid in the OAuth2 filter’s HMAC check.
  • CVE-2023-35943: A flaw was found in Envoy. Suppose an origin header is configured to be removed with request_headers_to_remove: origin. The CORS filter will segfault and crash Envoy when the origin header is removed and deleted between decodeHeaders and encodeHeaders.
  • CVE-2023-35944: A flaw was found in Envoy that allows for mixed-case schemes in HTTP/2. However, some internal scheme checks in Envoy are case-sensitive, leading to incorrect handling of requests and responses with mixed case schemes. For example, if a request with a mixed scheme HTTP is sent to the OAuth2 filter, it will fail the exact-match checks for HTTP and inform the remote endpoint the scheme is HTTP, thus potentially bypassing OAuth2 checks specific to HTTP requests.

CVE-2023-33953: Security Bulletins

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...

CVE-2023-35943: CORS filter segfault when origin header is removed

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to versions 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12, the CORS filter will segfault and crash Envoy when the `origin` header is removed and deleted between `decodeHeaders`and `encodeHeaders`. Versions 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12 have a fix for this issue. As a workaround, do not remove the `origin` header in the Envoy configuration.

CVE-2023-35944: Incorrect handling of HTTP requests and responses with mixed case schemes in Envoy

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Envoy allows mixed-case schemes in HTTP/2, however, some internal scheme checks are case-sensitive. Prior to versions 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12, this can lead to the rejection of requests with mixed-case schemes such as `htTp` or `htTps`, or the bypassing of some requests such as `https` in unencrypted connections. With a fix in versions 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12, Envoy will now lowercase scheme values by default, and change the internal scheme checks that were case-sensitive to be case-insensitive. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

CVE-2023-35941: OAuth2 credentials exploit with permanent validity

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to versions 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12, a malicious client is able to construct credentials with permanent validity in some specific scenarios. This is caused by the some rare scenarios in which HMAC payload can be always valid in OAuth2 filter's check. Versions 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12 have a fix for this issue. As a workaround, avoid wildcards/prefix domain wildcards in the host's domain configuration.

Debian Security Advisory 5439-1

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5439-1 - Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6183-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 6183-1 - Shoham Danino, Anat Bremler-Barr, Yehuda Afek, and Yuval Shavitt discovered that Bind incorrectly handled the cache size limit. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume memory, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled the recursive-clients quota. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.10, and Ubuntu 23.04.

CVE-2023-2828: CVE-2023-2828

Every `named` instance configured to run as a recursive resolver maintains a cache database holding the responses to the queries it has recently sent to authoritative servers. The size limit for that cache database can be configured using the `max-cache-size` statement in the configuration file; it defaults to 90% of the total amount of memory available on the host. When the size of the cache reaches 7/8 of the configured limit, a cache-cleaning algorithm starts to remove expired and/or least-recently used RRsets from the cache, to keep memory use below the configured limit. It has been discovered that the effectiveness of the cache-cleaning algorithm used in `named` can be severely diminished by querying the resolver for specific RRsets in a certain order, effectively allowing the configured `max-cache-size` limit to be significantly exceeded. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.41, 9.18.0 through 9.18.15, 9.19.0 through 9.19.13, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.41-S1, and 9...
