    Denial of service via HAMT Decoding Panics

    CVE-2023-23625 · GHSA-q264-w97q-q778

    Affected
    • Go github.com/ipfs/go-unixfs < 0.4.3
    Fixed in
    0.4.3· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact Trying to read malformed HAMT sharded directories can cause panics and virtual memory leaks. If you are reading untrusted user input, an attacker can then trigger a panic. This is caused by bogus fanout parameter in the HAMT directory nodes. This include checks returned in ipfs/go-bitfield GHSA-2h6c-j3gf-xp9r, as well as limiting the fanout to <= 1024 (to avoid attempts of arbitrary sized allocations). Patches - https://github.com/ipfs/go-unixfs/commit/dbcc43ec3e2db0d01e8d80c55040bba3cf22cb4b Workarounds Do not feed untrusted user data to the decoding functions. References - https://github.com/ipfs/go-bitfield/security/advisories/GHSA-2h6c-j3gf-xp9r

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.4.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
