AI-suggested

A fix is available in spdystream version 0.5.1. Users should upgrade to this version or later. Additionally, restrict Kubernetes cluster roles that allow pod port forwarding (pods/portforward create), pod execution (pods/exec create), pod attachment (pods/attach create), and node proxying (nodes/proxy get/create) to trusted users and service accounts only. Modifying RBAC policies should be carefully tested to avoid disrupting legitimate operations. No other immediate actions are required once patched or mitigated by role restriction.

Description

spdystream is a Go library for multiplexing streams over SPDY connections. In versions 0.5.0 and below, the SPDY/3 frame parser does not validate attacker-controlled counts and lengths before allocating memory. Three allocation paths are affected: the SETTINGS frame entry count, the header count in parseHeaderValueBlock, and individual header field sizes — all read as 32-bit integers and used directly as allocation sizes with no bounds checking. Because SPDY header blocks are zlib-compressed, a small on-the-wire payload can decompress into large attacker-controlled values. A remote peer that can send SPDY frames to a service using spdystream can exhaust process memory and cause an out-of-memory crash with a single crafted control frame. This issue has been fixed in version 0.5.1.
