Title
Openshift/oauth-server: openshift/oauth-server: quadratic-time dos via accept-language header underscore bypass on unauthenticated login endpoints
Summary
A flaw was found in openshift/oauth-server. The OAuth login and error page endpoints pass the unauthenticated Accept-Language header to golang.org/x/text/language.ParseAcceptLanguage() without input validation. A bypass of the CVE-2022-32149 mitigation exists: the upstream guard counts only '-' characters but the internal BCP 47 scanner aliases '_' to '-' after the guard check. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted Accept-Language header using '_' separators to trigger quadratic-time parsing, consuming excessive CPU and denying authentication to all cluster users.

Configure it to reject requests with an Accept-Language header larger than 4 KiB or with more than 32 combined - and _ separators. Rate-limit unauthenticated requests to the OAuth login and error endpoints as an additional defense. The proxy must re-establish TLS to the existing OAuth route, preserve the OAuth hostname/SNI, and validate the backend certificate. Do not disable TLS verification or expose the OAuth service directly. If an external TLS-terminating control cannot be deployed, there is no supported OpenShift router-only mitigation while the OAuth route remains TLS passthrough. Restricting access to the OAuth endpoint to trusted networks can reduce exposure but may affect user access. Upgrade to the first OpenShift release containing the fix as soon as it is available."

The OAuth login and error page endpoints pass the unauthenticated Accept-Language header to golang.org/x/text/language.ParseAcceptLanguage() without input validation. A bypass of the CVE-2022-32149 mitigation exists: the upstream guard counts only \u0027-\u0027 characters but the internal BCP 47 scanner aliases \u0027_\u0027 to \u0027-\u0027 after the guard check. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted Accept-Language header using \u0027_\u0027 separators to trigger quadratic-time parsing, consuming excessive CPU and denying authentication to all cluster users."

Configure it to reject requests with an Accept-Language header larger than 4 KiB or with more than 32 combined - and _ separators. Rate-limit unauthenticated requests to the OAuth login and error endpoints as an additional defense. The proxy must re-establish TLS to the existing OAuth route, preserve the OAuth hostname/SNI, and validate the backend certificate. Do not disable TLS verification or expose the OAuth service directly. If an external TLS-terminating control cannot be deployed, there is no supported OpenShift router-only mitigation while the OAuth route remains TLS passthrough. Restricting access to the OAuth endpoint to trusted networks can reduce exposure but may affect user access. Upgrade to the first OpenShift release containing the fix as soon as it is available."
