Red Hat Security Advisory: Cluster Observability Operator 1.5.2

Important

A flaw was found in fast-uri. This vulnerability occurs because fast-uri fails to properly convert Unicode (Internationalized Domain Name - IDN) hostnames for HTTP-family URLs. This can lead to a situation where security policies, such as denylists or redirect validations, are bypassed when applications use fast-uri to enforce these policies before passing the URL to another parser. A remote attacker could exploit this to circumvent security controls and potentially access unauthorized resources or perform malicious redirects.

CWE-551 - Incorrect Behavior Order: Authorization Before Parsing and Canonicalization

A flaw was found in the `crypto/x509` package of `golang`. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by presenting a specially crafted X.509 certificate with a large number of DNS Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries. The certificate verification process, specifically the `VerifyHostname` function, incurs excessive computational overhead due to repeated string operations when processing these entries. This can lead to a significant performance degradation or unresponsiveness of systems validating such certificates.

CWE-606 - Unchecked Input for Loop Condition

A flaw was found in OpenTelemetry-Go, the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending multiple 'baggage' header lines. The system's independent parsing and aggregation of each header field-value across multiple values can lead to amplified CPU and memory allocations, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in Go's `crypto/x509` package. A remote attacker could exploit this by presenting a specially crafted certificate chain containing a large number of policy mappings. This inefficient validation process consumes excessive resources, which can lead to a denial of service (DoS) for applications or systems performing certificate validation.

CWE-1050 - Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop

A flaw was found in github.com/buger/jsonparser. The Delete function, when processing malformed JSON input, fails to properly validate offsets. This vulnerability can lead to a negative slice index and a runtime panic, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) by providing specially crafted JSON data.

CWE-1285 - Improper Validation of Specified Index, Position, or Offset in Input

A flaw was found in the SPDY streaming code used by Kubelet, CRI-O, and kube-apiserver. An attacker with specific cluster roles, such as those allowing access to pod port forwarding, execution, or attachment, or node proxying, could exploit this vulnerability. This could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by causing the affected components to become unresponsive.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. The RSA and DSA public key parsers in the affected component did not enforce size limits on key parameters. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated client to provide a crafted public key with an excessively large modulus or DSA parameter during public key authentication. Successful exploitation could lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to prolonged CPU consumption during signature verification.

CWE-1284 - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. A remote malicious SSH peer can exploit this by sending unsolicited global request responses, which fills an internal buffer and blocks the connection's read loop. This prevents the associated resources from being released, leading to a resource leak per connection. The consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.

CWE-772 - Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. The Verify() method, responsible for FIDO/U2F security key types, did not properly check for user presence. This allowed signatures to be accepted without requiring a physical touch on the hardware security key. As a result, an attacker could potentially use a hardware security key in an unattended manner, bypassing a critical security control designed to ensure user intent.

CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
