RHSA-2024:6508
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2024-09-09 17:17 - Updated: 2026-10-13 23:27A vulnerability was found in Undertow, where the chunked response hangs after the body was flushed. The response headers and body were sent but the client would continue waiting as Undertow does not send the expected 0\r\n termination of the chunked response. This results in uncontrolled resource consumption, leaving the server side to a denial of service attack. This happens only with Java 17 TLSv1.3 scenarios.

Workaround
|
A vulnerability was found in Undertow where the ProxyProtocolReadListener reuses the same StringBuilder instance across multiple requests. This issue occurs when the parseProxyProtocolV1 method processes multiple requests on the same HTTP connection. As a result, different requests may share the same StringBuilder instance, potentially leading to information leakage between requests or responses. In some cases, a value from a previous request or response may be erroneously reused, which could lead to unintended data exposure. This issue primarily results in errors and connection termination but creates a risk of data leakage in multi-request environments.
A flaw was found in the Spring framework package. A maliciously crafted Spring Expression Language (SePL) may trigger uncontrolled CPU usage, leading to a denial of service in the application consuming it. To be considered vulnerable, one application has to evaluate user-supplied SpEL expressions.

Red Hat\u0027s CVSS is 5.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), while CVE.org rates it 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L); the difference reflects Red Hat\u0027s assessment of high attack complexity and no required user interaction versus CVE.org\u0027s low complexity, required user interaction, and lower availability impact. The current affects data marks 18 product streams affected, 2 new, and 20 not affected. Affected scope includes Red Hat JBoss Fuse, OpenShift Developer Tools \u0026 Services, OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Build of Quarkus, Red Hat build of Apache Camel, Red Hat build of OptaPlanner, Red Hat Process Automation Manager, and cloud.redhat.com; Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization has a new entry. Red Hat AMQ, Enterprise Application Platform, JBoss Data Grid, Red Hat Build of Keycloak, Red Hat Single Sign-On, and some Red Hat build of Apache Camel streams are marked not affected; where recorded, the reason is that the vulnerable code is not present. Affected streams marked DELEGATED are handled through delegated product workflows; entries with delegated resolution AFFECTED remain subject to remediation through that workflow, while other delegated entries are explicitly marked DEFER, NOTAFFECTED, or WONTFIX.
