CockroachDB 19.2 < 19.2.12 / 20.1 < 20.1.11 / 20.2 < 20.2.4 DoS (A58932)

high Nessus Plugin ID 159484

Language:

Synopsis

The remote CockroachDB server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of CockroachDB installed on the remote host is prior to 19.2.12, 20.1.x prior to 20.1.11, or 20.2.x prior to 20.2.4. Therefore, a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in protobuf binary decode functions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to cause the full-cluster to stop responding.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to CockroachDB version v19.2.12, v20.1.11, v20.2.4, or a later version.
