Description
Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, incorrectly handles resetting of HTTP/2 streams with excessive complexity. This can lead to high CPU utilization when a large number of streams are reset. This can result in a DoS condition. Pomerium versions 0.14.8 and 0.15.1 contain an upgraded envoy binary with this vulnerability patched.
Affected configurations
• envoyproxy envoy (<= 1.16.4)
• envoyproxy envoy (>= 1.17.0 < 1.17.4)
• envoyproxy envoy (>= 1.18.0 < 1.18.4)
• envoyproxy envoy 1.19.0
• pomerium pomerium (< 0.14.8)
