Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-06-18 17:07 – Updated: 2024-08-02 04:04

Title

Denial of service from maliciously configured Git repository in Minder

Summary

Minder is an open source Software Supply Chain Security Platform. Minder's Git provider is vulnerable to a denial of service from a maliciously configured GitHub repository. The Git provider clones users repositories using the `github.com/go-git/go-git/v5` library on lines `L55-L89`. The Git provider does the following on the lines `L56-L62`. First, it sets the `CloneOptions`, specifying the url, the depth etc. It then validates the options. It then sets up an in-memory filesystem, to which it clones and Finally, it clones the repository. The `(g *Git) Clone()` method is vulnerable to a DoS attack: A Minder user can instruct Minder to clone a large repository which will exhaust memory and crash the Minder server. The root cause of this vulnerability is a combination of the following conditions: 1. Users can control the Git URL which Minder clones, 2. Minder does not enforce a size limit to the repository, 3. Minder clones the entire repository into memory. This issue has been addressed in commit `7979b43` which has been included in release version v0.0.52. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

El proveedor de Git hace lo siguiente en las l\u00edneas \"L56-L62\". Primero, establece `CloneOptions`, especificando la URL, la profundidad, etc. Luego valida las opciones. Luego configura un sistema de archivos en memoria, al cual clona y, finalmente, clona el repositorio.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-18 16:34 – Updated: 2024-06-18 19:27

Summary

Minder affected by denial of service from maliciously configured Git repository

Details

Minder's Git provider is vulnerable to a denial of service from a maliciously configured GitHub repository. The Git provider clones users repositories using the github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 library on these lines:

https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/85985445c8ac3e51f03372e99c7b2f08a6d274aa/internal/providers/git/git.go#L55-L89

The Git provider does the following on these lines:

First, it sets the CloneOptions, specifying the url, the depth etc:

https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/85985445c8ac3e51f03372e99c7b2f08a6d274aa/internal/providers/git/git.go#L56-L62

It then validates the options:

https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/85985445c8ac3e51f03372e99c7b2f08a6d274aa/internal/providers/git/git.go#L66-L68

It then sets up an in-memory filesystem, to which it clones:

https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/85985445c8ac3e51f03372e99c7b2f08a6d274aa/internal/providers/git/git.go#L70-L71

Finally, it clones the repository:

https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/85985445c8ac3e51f03372e99c7b2f08a6d274aa/internal/providers/git/git.go#L77

This (g *Git) Clone() method is vulnerable to a DoS attack: A Minder user can instruct Minder to clone a large repository which will exhaust memory and crash the Minder server. The root cause of this vulnerability is a combination of the following conditions:

Users can control the Git URL which Minder clones.
Minder does not enforce a size limit to the repository.
Minder clones the entire repository into memory.

PoC

Here, we share a PoC of how the logic of (g *Git) Clone() behaves isolated from Minder. To get a true assessment of whether this is 100% identical to its behavior in the context of Minder instead of an isolated PoC, this should be tested out by creating a large repository and instructing Minder to clone it. However, even in that case, it might not be possible to deterministically trigger a DoS because of noise from network calls.

We believe the below PoC is a correct representation because:

We have replicated the important and impactful parts of (g *Git) Clone()
We run this in multiple goroutines which Minder does here: https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/3afa50ef2e06269ed619d390d266cf1988c2068b/internal/engine/executor.go#L128
Minders timeout is set to 5 minutes: https://github.com/stacklok/minder/blob/3afa50ef2e06269ed619d390d266cf1988c2068b/internal/engine/executor.go#L114. With a reasonable connection, Minder can download many GBs in that period.

In our PoC, we demonstrate that under these two conditions, a large repository can perform a SigKill of the Go process which in Minders case is the Minder server.

First, create a local Git repository:

cd /tmp
mkdir upstream-repo
cd upstream-repo
git init --bare
cd /tmp
git clone /tmp/upstream-repo ./upstream-repo-clone
cd ./upstream-repo-clone
# Add large file:
fallocate -l 8G large-file
git add .
git commit -m "add large file"
git push
cd /tmp

Create and run the following script in /tmp/dos-poc/main.go:

package main

import (
        "context"
        "fmt"
        "github.com/go-git/go-billy/v5/memfs"
        "github.com/go-git/go-git/v5"
        "github.com/go-git/go-git/v5/storage/memory"
        "runtime"
        "sync"
)

func main() {
        var (
                wg  sync.WaitGroup
        )

        for i := 0; i < 2; i++ {
                fmt.Println("Starting one...")
                wg.Add(1)
                go func() {
                        defer wg.Done()
                        opts := &git.CloneOptions{
                                URL:          "/tmp/upstream-repo",
                                SingleBranch: true,
                                Depth:        1,
                                Tags:         git.NoTags,
                        }

                        storer := memory.NewStorage()
                        fs := memfs.New()
                        git.CloneContext(context.Background(), storer, fs, opts)
                }()
        }
        fmt.Println("Finished")
        PrintMemUsage()
        wg.Wait()

}

func PrintMemUsage() {
        var m runtime.MemStats
        runtime.ReadMemStats(&m)
        // For info on each, see: https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#MemStats
        fmt.Printf("Alloc = %v MiB", bToMb(m.Alloc))
        fmt.Printf("\tTotalAlloc = %v MiB", bToMb(m.TotalAlloc))
        fmt.Printf("\tSys = %v MiB", bToMb(m.Sys))
        fmt.Printf("\tNumGC = %v\n", m.NumGC)
}

func bToMb(b uint64) uint64 {
        return b / 1024 / 1024
}

On my local machine, this Go program is killed before it prints "Finished" in the terminal. Observing the memory by way of top, we can see that the memory climbs steadily until the program crashes around 93% memory consumption.

Severity

5.7 (Medium)

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
