August 2019 Security Releases

August 2019 Security Releases Node.js, as well as many other implementations of HTTP/2, have been found vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks. See https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-002.md for more information. Updates are now available for all...

CVE-2019-9517

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to unconstrained interal data buffering, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens the HTTP/2 window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write many of the byt...

HTTP/2 implementations do not robustly handle abnormal traffic and resource exhaustion

Overview Multiple HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a variety of denial-of-service DoS attacks. Description The Security Considerations section of RFC7540 discusses some of the considerations needed for HTTP/2 connections as they demand more resources to operate than HTTP/1.1 connections...

Integer overflow in WebSockets during data buffering — Mozilla

Security researcher Samuel Groß reported an integer overflow error in WebSockets during data buffering on incoming packets when an allocated buffer is resized incorrectly. This results in the buffer array holding the data being shrunk, instead of grown, resulting in attacker controlled data being...

*sigh* Trillian multiple DoS's flaws.

I'm beginning to wonder if the makers of the instant messaging client Trillian, have done any bounds checking in their code. Personally I like trillian, its a nice peice of software, on the outside. Here's three more DoS attacks on trillian, exploitable via a server. I've included some code which...
