Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:57 – Updated: 2024-04-04 02:07
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco IC3000 Industrial Compute Gateway could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability exists because the affected software improperly manages system resources. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by opening a large number of simultaneous sessions on the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition of the web-based management interface, preventing normal management operations.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-16 21:09 – Updated: 2026-04-24 20:48
VLAI
Summary
zrok: Unauthenticated DoS via unbounded memory allocation in striped session cookie parsing
Details

Summary endpoints.GetSessionCookie parses an attacker-supplied cookie chunk count and calls make([]string, count) with no upper bound before any token validation occurs. The function is reached on every request to an OAuth-protected proxy share, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger gigabyte-scale heap allocations per request, leading to process-level OOM termination or repeated goroutine panics. Both publicProxy and dynamicProxy are affected.

  • Attack Vector: Network — exploitable via a single HTTP request with a crafted Cookie header.
  • Attack Complexity: Low — no preconditions or chaining required; the attacker only needs to know the cookie name (publicly derivable from any OAuth redirect).
  • Privileges Required: None — reached before JWT validation or any authentication check.
  • User Interaction: None.
  • Scope: Unchanged — impact is confined to the affected proxy process.
  • Confidentiality Impact: None.
  • Integrity Impact: None.

Availability Impact: High — sustained or concurrent requests cause OOM process termination, taking down the proxy for all users of all shares it serves.

Affected Components - endpoints/oauthCookies.go — GetSessionCookie (line 81) - endpoints/publicProxy/authOAuth.go — handleOAuth (line 50) — call site, pre-auth - endpoints/dynamicProxy/cookies.go — getSessionCookie (line 29) — call site

  • [github.com/consensys/gnark-crypto](http://github.com/consensys/gnark-crypto) v0.14.1-0.20240909142611-e6b99e74cec1

Steps to Reproduce

You can download the needed files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KQ5I3vv4bUllvqbatGappwbAkIcR2NI_?usp=sharing

You have to run

shell go run gnark_poc.go

in a terminal.

Running the provided code will result in a memory crash or an extremely large memory allocation, which can be observed using the following command:

shell go tool pprof -web mem.pprof

Root Cause Analysis

The provided code loads a VerifyingKey from old.vk by calling the ReadFrom function. This function is implemented in backend/groth16/bn254/marshal.go within the gnark library.

The provided example uses the elliptic curve BN-254, so the code resides in the backend/groth16/bn254/ repertory. However, the same error exists in other repertories, such as backend/groth16/bls12-377/.

At line 207, a slice is allocated with a length of nbCommitments. This variable is directly extracted from the deserialized file, which, in our case, has a value of 2,327,186,600. This large value may be too big for some configurations, leading to memory allocations of approximately ±1 TB, as observed with pprof.

Detailed Behavior

shell go run gnark_poc.go

Appendices

This problem can also happen with ProvingKey.

Impact

Prover and verifier denial of service in case of maliciously crafted inputs (public key, verification key).

Patches

The issue is patched in https://github.com/Consensys/gnark/pull/1307. It was merged to gnark master at https://github.com/Consensys/gnark/commit/47ae846339add2bdf9983e499342bfdfe195191d. The fix will be incorporated in the next minor release of gnark (v0.11.1).

Workarounds

There are no convenient work-arounds currently. The best approach currently is to run key verification as a separate service which halts the verification pipeline in case of OOM when verification keys come from untrusted sources.

https://github.com/Consensys/gnark/pull/1307. It was merged to gnark master at https://github.com/Consensys/gnark/commit/47ae846339add2bdf9983e499342bfdfe195191d. The fix will be incorporated in the next minor release of gnark (v0.11.1).\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThere are no convenient work-arounds currently. The best approach currently is to run key verification as a separate service which halts the verification pipeline in case of OOM when verification keys come from untrusted sources.",

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place. The login application should be protected against DoS attacks as much as possible. Limiting the database access, perhaps by caching result sets, can help minimize the resources expended. To further limit the potential for a DoS attack, consider tracking the rate of requests received from users and blocking requests that exceed a defined rate threshold.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either:
  • The first of these solutions is an issue in itself though, since it may allow attackers to prevent the use of the system by a particular valid user. If the attacker impersonates the valid user, they may be able to prevent the user from accessing the server in question.
  • The second solution is simply difficult to effectively institute -- and even when properly done, it does not provide a full solution. It simply makes the attack require more resources on the part of the attacker.
  • recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or
  • uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that all failures in resource allocation place the system into a safe posture.

CAPEC-147: XML Ping of the Death

An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.

CAPEC-227: Sustained Client Engagement

An adversary attempts to deny legitimate users access to a resource by continually engaging a specific resource in an attempt to keep the resource tied up as long as possible. The adversary's primary goal is not to crash or flood the target, which would alert defenders; rather it is to repeatedly perform actions or abuse algorithmic flaws such that a given resource is tied up and not available to a legitimate user. By carefully crafting a requests that keep the resource engaged through what is seemingly benign requests, legitimate users are limited or completely denied access to the resource.

CAPEC-492: Regular Expression Exponential Blowup

An adversary may execute an attack on a program that uses a poor Regular Expression(Regex) implementation by choosing input that results in an extreme situation for the Regex. A typical extreme situation operates at exponential time compared to the input size. This is due to most implementations using a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton(NFA) state machine to be built by the Regex algorithm since NFA allows backtracking and thus more complex regular expressions.
