Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU83546
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45142
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP header User-Agent and HTTP method. A remote attacker can send multiple requests with long randomly generated HTTP methods or/and User agents and consume memory resources, leading to a denial of service condition. MitigationUpdate the affected package containerd to the latest version.

2) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU88184
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 7.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45288
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack. MitigationUpdate the affected package containerd to the latest version.

3) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU84507
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-47108
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to grpc Unary Server Interceptor does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing multiple requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationUpdate the affected package containerd to the latest version.
