Red Hat Security Advisory: container-tools:rhel8 security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Important

A flaw was found in the net/url package in the Go standard library. The package does not enforce a limit on the number of unique query parameters it parses. A Go application using the net/http.Request.ParseForm method will try to process all parameters provided in the request. A specially crafted HTTP request containing a massive number of query parameters will cause the application to consume an excessive amount of memory, eventually causing the application to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in the archive/zip package in the Go standard library. A super-linear file name indexing algorithm is used in the first time a file in an archive is opened. A crafted zip archive containing a specific arrangement of file names can cause an excessive CPU and memory consumption. A Go application processing a malicious archive can become unresponsive or crash, resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in golang. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted certificate during the error string construction process within the `HostnameError.Error()` function. This flaw, caused by unbounded string concatenation, leads to excessive resource consumption. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service (DoS) for the affected system.

CWE-1050 - Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop

A flaw was found in the crypto/tls component. This vulnerability occurs during Transport Layer Security (TLS) session resumption when certificate authority (CA) settings are modified between the initial and resumed handshakes. An attacker could exploit this to bypass certificate validation, allowing a client or server to establish a connection that should have been rejected. This could lead to an authentication bypass under specific conditions.
