Description SMASH SMASH 2023-10-12 07:03:53 UTC
Eclipse Jetty provides a web server and servlet container. In versions 11.0.0
through 11.0.15, 10.0.0 through 10.0.15, and 9.0.0 through 9.4.52, an integer
overflow in `MetaDataBuilder.checkSize` allows for HTTP/2 HPACK header values
to
exceed their size limit. `MetaDataBuilder.java` determines if a header name or
value exceeds the size limit, and throws an exception if the limit is exceeded.
However, when length is very large and huffman is true, the multiplication by 4
in line 295
will overflow, and length will become negative. `(_size+length)` will now be
negative, and the check on line 296 will not be triggered. Furthermore,
`MetaDataBuilder.checkSize` allows for user-entered HPACK header value sizes to
be negative, potentially leading to a very large buffer allocation later on when
the user-entered size is multiplied by 2. This means that if a user provides a
negative length value (or, more precisely, a length value which, when multiplied
by the 4/3 fudge factor, is negative), and this length value is a very large
positive number when multiplied by 2, then the user can cause a very large
buffer to be allocated on the server. Users of HTTP/2 can be impacted by a
remote denial of service attack. The issue has been fixed in versions 11.0.16,
10.0.16, and 9.4.53. There are no known workarounds.
