Sigstore Timestamp Authority allocates excessive memory during request parsing
CVE-2025-66564 · GHSA-4qg8-fj49-pxjh
- Affected
- Go github.com/sigstore/timestamp-authority <= 2.0.2
- Fixed in
- 2.0.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Impact Excessive memory allocation Function api.ParseJSONRequest currently splits (via a call to strings.Split) an optionally-provided OID (which is untrusted data) on periods. Similarly, function api.getContentType splits the Content-Type header (which is also untrusted data) on an application string. As a result, in the face of a malicious request with either an excessively long OID in the payload containing many period characters or a malformed Content-Type header, a call to api.ParseJSONRequest or api.getContentType incurs allocations of O(n) bytes (where n stands for the length of the function's argument). Relevant weakness: CWE-405: Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification) Patches Upgrade to v2.0.3. Workarounds There are no workarounds with the service itself. If the service is behind a load balancer, configure the load balancer to reject excessively large requests.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.0.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
