INSIGHTS VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

DESCRIPTION

A flaw was found in handling multiplexed streams in the HTTP/2 protocol. A
client can repeatedly make a request for a new multiplex stream and immediately
send an RST_STREAM frame to cancel it. This creates extra work for the server
setting up and tearing down the streams while not hitting any server-side limit
for the maximum number of active streams per connection, resulting in a denial
of service due to server resource consumption. Red Hat has rated the severity of
this flaw as 'Important' as the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency (CISA) declared this vulnerability an active exploit. CVE-2023-39325 was
assigned for the `Rapid Reset Attack` in the Go language packages.

packages.


SECURITY BULLETIN

https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/RHSB-2023-003


STATEMENT

NGINX has been marked as Moderate Impact because, for performance and resource
consumption reasons, NGINX limits the number of concurrent streams to a default
of 128. In addition, to optimally balance network and server performance, NGINX
allows the client to persist HTTP connections for up to 1000 requests by default
using an HTTP keepalive. The majority of RHEL utilities are not long-running
applications; instead, they are command-line tools. These tools utilize Golang
package as build-time dependency, which is why they are classified as having a
"Moderate" level of impact.

MITIGATION

Users are strongly urged to update their software as soon as fixes are
available.
There are several mitigation approaches for this flaw.


1. If circumstances permit, users may disable http2 endpoints to circumvent the
flaw altogether until a fix is available.
2. IP-based blocking or flood protection and rate control tools may be used at
network endpoints to filter incoming traffic.
3. Several package specific mitigations are also available.

     e. golang: The default stream concurrency limit in golang is 250 streams
(requests) per HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted in the
golang.org/x/net/http2 package using the Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting and
the ConfigureServer function which are available in golang.org/x/net/http2.

COMMON VULNERABILITY SCORING SYSTEM (CVSS) SCORE DETAILS


IMPORTANT NOTE

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g.
version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be
different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE
Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat
classifications).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHY IS RED HAT'S CVSS V3 SCORE OR IMPACT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VENDORS?

For open source software shipped by multiple vendors, the CVSS base scores may
vary for each vendor's version depending on the version they ship, how they ship
it, the platform, and even how the software is compiled. This makes scoring of
vulnerabilities difficult for third-party vulnerability databases such as NVD
that only provide a single CVSS base score for each vulnerability. Red Hat
scores reflect how a vulnerability affects our products specifically.

For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/762393.


MY PRODUCT IS LISTED AS "UNDER INVESTIGATION" OR "AFFECTED", WHEN WILL RED HAT
RELEASE A FIX FOR THIS VULNERABILITY?

 * "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected
   by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working
   on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
 * "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is
   affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the
   near future.


WHAT CAN I DO IF MY PRODUCT IS LISTED AS "WILL NOT FIX"?

This depends mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the Life Cycle phase
in which your product is currently in. Overall, you have the following options:
 * Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this
   vulnerability (recommended)
 * Apply a mitigation (if one exists)
 * Open a support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this
   vulnerability


I HAVE A RED HAT PRODUCT BUT IT IS NOT IN THE ABOVE LIST, IS IT AFFECTED?

The listed products were found to include one or more of the components that
this vulnerability affects. These products underwent a thorough evaluation to
determine their affectedness by this vulnerability. Note that layered products
(such as container-based offerings) that consume affected components from any of
the products listed in this table may be affected and are not represented.


WHY IS MY SECURITY SCANNER REPORTING MY PRODUCT AS VULNERABLE TO THIS
VULNERABILITY EVEN THOUGH MY PRODUCT VERSION IS FIXED OR NOT AFFECTED?

In order to maintain code stability and compatibility, Red Hat usually does not
rebase packages to entirely new versions. Instead, we backport fixes and new
features to an older version of the package we distribute. This can result in
some security scanners that only consider the package version to report the
package as vulnerable. To avoid this, we suggest that you use an OVAL-compatible
security scanner like OpenSCAP.

For more information, see https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/determining-your-risk.


MY PRODUCT IS LISTED AS "OUT OF SUPPORT SCOPE". WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

When a product is listed as "Out of Support Scope", it means a vulnerability
with the impact level assigned to this CVE is no longer covered by its current
support lifecycle phase. The product has been identified to contain the impacted
component, but analysis to determine whether it is affected or not by this
vulnerability was not performed. The product should be assumed to be affected.
Customers are advised to apply any mitigation options documented on this page,
consider removing or disabling the impacted component, or upgrade to a supported
version of the product that has an update available.
