Vulnerability CVE-2022-23606


Published: 2022-02-22   Modified: 2022-02-23

Description:
Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. When a cluster is deleted via Cluster Discovery Service (CDS) all idle connections established to endpoints in that cluster are disconnected. A recursion was introduced in the procedure of disconnecting idle connections that can lead to stack exhaustion and abnormal process termination when a cluster has a large number of idle connections. This infinite recursion causes Envoy to crash. Users are advised to upgrade.

Type:

CWE-674

(Uncontrolled Recursion)
