ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. A request with a number of headers exceeding theserver.maxHeadersCount threshold could be used to crash a ws server. The vulnerability was fixed in ws@8.17.1 (e55e510) and backported to ws@7.5.10 (22c2876), ws@6.2.3 (eeb76d3), and ws@5.2.4 (4abd8f6). In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options so that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent. 2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to 0 so that no limit is applied.

The Azure CycleCloud product is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a disclosure of the storage credentials. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands     with root privileges. (CVE-2024-38195)

  - A flaw was found in the python-cryptography package. This issue may allow a remote attacker to decrypt     captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or     sensitive data. (CVE-2023-50782)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in python-cryptography due to the     pkcs12.serialize_key_and_certificates function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this     issue, via specially crafted certificate, to cause the process to stop responding. (CVE-2024-26130)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in ws, an open source WebSocket client and server for     Node.js, due to the handling of headers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via     specially crafted request, to cause the application to stop responding. (CVE-2024-37890)
