Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: rhc-worker-script security and enhancement update

Severity

Moderate

Notes

Topic: An update for rhc-worker-script is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Details: The rhc-worker-script packages provide Remote Host Configuration (rhc) worker for executing an interpreted programming language script on hosts managed by Red Hat Insights. Security Fix(es): * golang-protobuf: encoding/protojson, internal/encoding/json: infinite loop in protojson.Unmarshal when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON [rhc-worker-script] (CVE-2024-24786) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Enhancement(s): * Allow users to specify environment variables through the rhc-worker-script configuration file to be passed down to the scripts being executed (HMS-3843)

CVE-2024-24786

A flaw was found in golang-protobuf. The protojson unmarshaling function can enter an infinite loop when parsing certain invalid JSON inputs, specifically when decoding messages containing Any values or when configured to discard unknown fields. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by submitting specially crafted JSON payloads to cause excessive CPU utilization and hang the application, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
