Description

Impact DOS by Atom exhaustion is possible by calling `oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_provider_configuration/1` or `oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_jwks/1`. Since the name is usually provided as a static value in the application using `oidcc`, this is unlikely to be exploited. Details Example to illustrate the vulnerability. ```erlang {ok, Claims} = oidcc:retrieve_userinfo( Token, myapp_oidcc_config_provider, >, >, #{} ) ``` The vulnerability is present in `oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_ets_table_name/1`. The function `get_ets_table_name` is calling `erlang:list_to_atom/1`. https://github.com/erlef/oidcc/blob/018dbb53dd752cb1e331637d8e0e6a489ba1fae9/src/oidcc_provider_configuration_worker.erl#L385-L388 There might be a case (Very highly improbable) where the 2nd argument of `oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_*/1` is called with a different atom each time which eventually leads to the atom table filling up and the node crashing. Patches Patched in `3.0.2`, `3.1.2` & `3.2.0-beta.3` Workarounds Make sure only valid provider configuration worker names are passed to the functions.
