GHSA-87m9-rv8p-rgmg
- Affected
- Go github.com/mostynb/go-grpc-compression >= 1.1.4, < 1.2.3
- Fixed in
- 1.2.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Impact A malicious user could cause a denial of service (DoS) when using a specially crafted gRPC request. The decompression mechanism for zstd did not respect the limits imposed by gRPC, allowing rapid memory usage increases. Versions v1.1.4 through to v1.2.2 made use of the Decoder.DecodeAll function in github.com/klauspost/compress/zstd to decompress data provided by the peer. The vulnerability is exploitable only by attackers who can send gRPC payloads to users of github.com/mostynb/go-grpc-compression/zstd or github.com/mostynb/go-grpc-compression/nonclobbering/zstd. Patches Version v1.2.3 of github.com/mostynb/go-grpc-compression avoids the issue by not using the Decoder.DecodeAll function in github.com/klauspost/compress/zstd. All users of github.com/mostynb/go-grpc-compression/zstd or github.com/mostynb/go-grpc-compression/nonclobbering/zstd in the affected versions should update to v1.2.3. Workarounds Other compression formats were not affected, users may consider switching…
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.2.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
