The most serious of the issues included in August’s Patch Tuesday is CVE-2024-38063, a remote code execution vulnerability in Windows TCP/IP.
### Summary The bearertokenauth extension's server authenticator performs a simple, non-constant time string comparison of the received & configured bearer tokens. ### Details https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/9128a9258fe1fee36f198f97b1e3371fc7b77a93/extension/bearertokenauthextension/bearertokenauth.go#L189-L196 For background on the type of vulnerability, see https://ropesec.com/articles/timing-attacks/. ### Impact This impacts anyone using the `bearertokenauth` server authenticator. Malicious clients with network access to the collector may perform a timing attack against a collector with this authenticator to guess the configured token, by iteratively sending tokens and comparing the response time. This would allow an attacker to introduce fabricated or bad data into the collector's telemetry pipeline. ### Fix The observable timing vulnerability was fixed by @axw in v0.107.0 (PR https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-c...
