GHSA-r5fr-9gmv-jggh scim_proto and kanidm_proto have an authenticated process abort via SCIM filter stack exhaustion

• crates.io scim_proto: < 1.9.3 → fixed in 1.9.3 • crates.io kanidm_proto: < 1.9.3 → fixed in 1.9.3

Summary A single unauthenticated `GET` to any `/scim/v1/...` endpoint with a `?filter=` query string of a few thousand nested parentheses (≈ 4–12 KB) drives the recursive-descent PEG parser past the worker thread's stack guard page. Rust responds to stack overflow with `std::process::abort()` — the entire `kanidmd` process exits. The parse runs inside axum's `Query` extractor, before any handler body and therefore before any ACL check. Details The SCIM filter grammar recurses on `(` and `not (` with no depth bound. `proto/src/scim_v1/mod.rs:263-433` — `peg::parser! { grammar scimfilter() ... }`: ```rust // line 281 "not" separator()+ "(" e:parse() ")" { ScimFilter::Not(Box::new(e)) } // line 293 "(" e:parse() ")" { e } ``` Both rules re-enter `parse()` without a depth counter. `proto/src/scim_v1/mod.rs:442-447` — `impl FromStr for ScimFilter` calls `scimfilter::parse(input)` directly on the raw string with no length or depth pre-check. `proto/src/scim_v1/mod.rs:80-81` — `ScimEntryGetQuery.filter` is `#[serde_as(as = "Option")]`, so deserialising the query struct invokes `ScimFilter::from_str` on attacker bytes. Unauthenticated reachability — nine handlers in `server/core/src/https/v1_scim.rs` (route table at lines 865-1029) take `Query` as an argument: `/scim/v1/Entry`, `/scim/v1/Entry/{id}`, `/scim/v1/Person/{id}`, `/scim/v1/Application`, `/scim/v1/Application/{id}`, `/scim/v1/Class`, `/scim/v1/Attribute`, `/scim/v1/Message`, `/scim/v1/Message/{id}`. The SCIM router is merged unconditionally for every server role (`server/core/src/https/mod.rs:312`). Axum extracts handler arguments before the handler body runs. The preceding `VerifiedClientInformation` extractor (`server/core/src/https/extractors/mod.rs:16-91`) always returns `Ok` (line 89) regardless of credentials; authorization is deferred to the handler body, which is never reached. The existing semantic depth limit (`DEFAULT_LIMIT_FILTER_DEPTH_MAX = 12`, `server/lib/src/constants/mod.rs:212`) is enforced in `Filter::from_scim_ro` (`server/lib/src/filter.rs:786`) after the PEG parse has already produced an AST, so it cannot prevent the parser itself from blowing the stack. The production daemon (`server/daemon/src/main.rs:735-744`) uses `new_multi_thread()` with default 2 MiB worker stacks; hyper's `max_buf_size` (~400 KiB) is not lowered (`server/core/src/https/mod.rs:708-727`), so a 12 KB URI is accepted. An identical unbounded grammar exists in `libs/scim_proto/src/filter.rs:112-276` (not network-reachable, but should be fixed in the same patch). PoC ```sh curl -sk "https://idm.example.com/scim/v1/Application?filter=$(python3 -c 'print("("*3000+"a+pr"+")"*3000)')" → curl: (52) Empty reply from server → server journal: "fatal runtime error: stack overflow, aborting", SIGABRT ``` Release-build threshold measured at ~2 000 nesting levels / ~4 KB: ``` $ cargo test --release -p kanidm_proto --test scim_filter_depth -- --nocapture parens depth=1500 len=3004 -> survived parens depth=2000 len=4004 thread 'audit_scim_filter_nested_parens' has overflowed its stack fatal runtime error: stack overflow, aborting (signal: 6, SIGABRT: process abort signal) ``` End-to-end against an in-process server via `kanidmd_testkit` (no authentication performed): ``` Testkit server setup complete - http://localhost:18080/ audit_scim_dos: sending unauthenticated GET, url len = 12056 thread '...' has overflowed its stack fatal runtime error: stack overflow, aborting (signal: 6, SIGABRT: process abort signal) ``` Impact Process-wide availability loss; no confidentiality or integrity impact. • Unauthenticated, default install, no feature flag required. • Process abort, not task panic. Stack overflow triggers libstd's guard-page handler, which calls `std::process::abort()`. tokio's per-task `catch_unwind` isolation does not apply to aborts. All in-flight HTTP requests, OAuth2/OIDC sessions, LDAP binds, and the web UI are terminated. • Repeatable. One ~12 KB GET per crash; a `while true; do curl ...; done` loop holds the service down indefinitely across supervisor restarts. • The 6 011-byte variant (`depth=3000`) fits under the nginx default `large_client_header_buffers` limit of 8 KB, so a typical reverse proxy does not mitigate. Affected: v1.7.0 through `master` @ edf50b9da.
