CVE-2017-9790 (GCVE-0-2017-9790)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-09-28 20:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 22:14
VLAI
Summary
When handling a libprocess message wrapped in an HTTP request, libprocess in Apache Mesos before 1.1.3, 1.2.x before 1.2.2, 1.3.x before 1.3.1, and 1.4.0-dev crashes if the request path is empty, because the parser assumes the request path always starts with '/'. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.
