The proof of concept attack involves a malicious client constructing a SETTINGS frame with a length of 14,400 bytes (2400 individual settings entries) over and over again. The attack causes the CPU to spike at 100%. nghttp2 v1.41.0 fixes this vulnerability. There is a workaround to this vulnerability. Implement nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback callback, and if received frame is SETTINGS frame and the number of settings entries are large (e.g., > 32), then drop the connection." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "LOW", "baseScore": 3.7, "baseSeverity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-707 Improper Enforcement of Message or Data Structure" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "refsource": "DEBIAN", "name": "DSA-4696", "url": "https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4696" }, { "refsource": "SUSE", "name": "openSUSE-SU-2020:0802", "url": "http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-06/msg00024.html" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2020-f7d15c8b77", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/AAC2AA36OTRHKSVM5OV7TTVB3CZIGEFL/" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2020.html" }, { "name": "https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/security/advisories/GHSA-q5wr-xfw9-q7xr", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/security/advisories/GHSA-q5wr-xfw9-q7xr" }, { "name": "https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/commit/336a98feb0d56b9ac54e12736b18785c27f75090", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/commit/336a98feb0d56b9ac54e12736b18785c27f75090" }, { "name": "https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/commit/f8da73bd042f810f34d19f9eae02b46d870af394", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/commit/f8da73bd042f810f34d19f9eae02b46d870af394" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2020.html" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2020-43d5a372fc", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4OOYAMJVLLCLXDTHW3V5UXNULZBBK4O6/" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2021.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2021.html" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com//security-alerts/cpujul2021.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com//security-alerts/cpujul2021.html" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-q5wr-xfw9-q7xr", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
