Impact An unauthenticated stack overflow crash, leading to a denial of service (DoS), was identified in Rancher’s `/v3-public/authproviders` public API endpoint. A malicious user could submit data to the API which would cause the Rancher server to crash, but no malicious or incorrect data would actually be written in the API. The downstream clusters, i.e., the clusters managed by Rancher, are not affected by this issue. This vulnerability affects those using external authentication providers as well as Rancher’s local authentication. Patches The patch includes the removal of unnecessary HTTP methods of the specific API. Patched versions include releases `v2.8.13`, `v2.9.7` and `v2.10.3`. Workarounds There are no workarounds for this issue. Users are recommended to upgrade, as soon as possible, to a version of Rancher Manager that contains the fix.
