Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenShift Builds 1.7.1
Releases of Red Hat OpenShift Builds 1.7.1
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-61728 is a denial of service vulnerability in the archive/zip package of the Go standard library, affecting Red Hat OpenShift Builds 1.7.0. The flaw arises from a super-linear file name indexing algorithm that, when processing a maliciously crafted zip archive, causes excessive CPU and memory usage. This resource exhaustion can cause Go applications to become unresponsive or crash. Red Hat has issued an advisory recommending upgrading to version 1.7.1 of OpenShift Builds to address this issue. The vulnerability is associated with CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) and CWE-409 (Concurrency Issues).
Potential Impact
An attacker who can supply a malicious zip archive to a Go application using the archive/zip package can cause the application to consume excessive CPU and memory resources, leading to denial of service. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The denial of service can cause the application to become unresponsive or crash, affecting availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released OpenShift Builds version 1.7.1 which fixes this vulnerability. It is recommended that users upgrade from version 1.7.0 to 1.7.1. Additionally, implementing a timeout in the archive/zip processing logic to abort operations exceeding a few seconds can mitigate excessive resource consumption. No other mitigations are specified by the vendor.
