GHSA-hrxh-6v49-42gf: gRPC-Go: xDS RBAC and HTTP/2 Vulnerabilities
Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified and addressed in grpc-go affecting the xDS RBAC authorization engine (internal/xds/rbac) and the HTTP/2 transport server implementation (internal/transport). These vulnerabilities could result in:
- Authorization Bypass (Fail-Open) when translating xDS RBAC policies containing
MetadataorRequestedServerNamefields. - Denial of Service (High CPU Consumption) due to an HTTP/2 Rapid Reset mitigation bypass during client-initiated stream resets.
- Denial of Service (Server Panic) when parsing crafted xDS RBAC policies containing
NOTrules around unsupported fields.
