A program using swift-nio is vulnerable to a potential out-of-bounds write when attacker-controlled index or length values exceeding UInt32.max are passed to some ByteBuffer methods. This affects all swift-nio versions from 1.0.0 to 2.99.0. It is fixed in 2.100.0 and later releases.
Programs using swift-nio is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling and HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by insufficient validation of outbound HTTP/1.1 request and response start line components. This vulnerability affects all swift-nio versions from 2.0.0 to 2.99.0. It is fixed in 2.100.0 and later releases. This vulnerability is caused by the NIOHTTPRequestHeadersValidator and NIOHTTPResponseHeadersValidator channel handlers only validating header field names and values, while leaving the request URI, request method, …
The HTTPDecoder in NIOHTTP1 enforces no limit on the total size of an HTTP/1 message's header block or on the number of header fields per message. A remote peer can submit an arbitrary number of small, valid headers in a single request and have them all accumulated into the resulting HTTPHeaders value before any application code runs. This can be used to exhaust memory, or — for consumers that subsequently …
NIOHTTP1 and projects using it for generating HTTP responses, including SwiftNIO, can be subject to a HTTP Response Injection attack. This occurs when a HTTP/1.1 server accepts user generated input from an incoming request and reflects it into a HTTP/1.1 response header in some form. A malicious user can add newlines to their input (usually in encoded form) and "inject" those newlines into the returned HTTP response. This capability allows …
Affected SwiftNIO systems are vulnerable to request smuggling attacks, in which they parse a given HTTP message differently from other network parties, potentially seeing a different number of requests than other servers. This can lead to failures of authentication, routing, and other issues. This vulnerability can be found in the bundled copy of the Node.JS HTTP parser used in the NIOHTTP1 module.
