NewCVE-2024-53270  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-670  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade envoyproxy/envoy to version 1.29.12, 1.30.9, 1.31.5, 1.32.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation due to the sendOverloadError function. An attacker can cause the application to crash by triggering a reset during the message begin phase, leading to a null pointer dereference. This is only exploitable if envoy.load_shed_points.http1_server_abort_dispatch is configured.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling http1_server_abort_dispatch load shed point or using a high threshold.
