From b6aa9504cdfb6391d895dcbddc87b9260ea6968c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Lubo=C5=A1=20Uhliarik?= Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2023 09:59:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2023-44487 - HTTP/2: per-iteration stream handling limit. To ensure that attempts to flood servers with many streams are detected early, a limit of no more than 2 * max_concurrent_streams new streams per one event loop iteration was introduced. This limit is applied even if max_concurrent_streams is not yet reached - for example, if corresponding streams are handled synchronously or reset. Further, refused streams are now limited to maximum of max_concurrent_streams and 100, similarly to priority_limit initial value, providing some tolerance to clients trying to open several streams at the connection start, yet low tolerance to flooding attempts. --- src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.c b/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.c index 3611a2e..291677a 100644 --- a/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.c +++ b/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.c @@ -361,6 +361,7 @@ ngx_http_v2_read_handler(ngx_event_t *rev) ngx_log_debug0(NGX_LOG_DEBUG_HTTP, c->log, 0, "http2 read handler"); h2c->blocked = 1; + h2c->new_streams = 0; if (c->close) { c->close = 0; @@ -1320,6 +1321,14 @@ ngx_http_v2_state_headers(ngx_http_v2_connection_t *h2c, u_char *pos, goto rst_stream; } + if (h2c->new_streams++ >= 2 * h2scf->concurrent_streams) { + ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_INFO, h2c->connection->log, 0, + "client sent too many streams at once"); + + status = NGX_HTTP_V2_REFUSED_STREAM; + goto rst_stream; + } + if (!h2c->settings_ack && !(h2c->state.flags & NGX_HTTP_V2_END_STREAM_FLAG) && h2scf->preread_size < NGX_HTTP_V2_DEFAULT_WINDOW) @@ -1385,6 +1394,12 @@ ngx_http_v2_state_headers(ngx_http_v2_connection_t *h2c, u_char *pos, rst_stream: + if (h2c->refused_streams++ > ngx_max(h2scf->concurrent_streams, 100)) { + ngx_log_error(NGX_LOG_INFO, h2c->connection->log, 0, + "client sent too many refused streams"); + return ngx_http_v2_connection_error(h2c, NGX_HTTP_V2_NO_ERROR); + } + if (ngx_http_v2_send_rst_stream(h2c, h2c->state.sid, status) != NGX_OK) { return ngx_http_v2_connection_error(h2c, NGX_HTTP_V2_INTERNAL_ERROR); } diff --git a/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.h b/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.h index 3492297..6a7aaa6 100644 --- a/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.h +++ b/src/http/v2/ngx_http_v2.h @@ -125,6 +125,8 @@ struct ngx_http_v2_connection_s { ngx_uint_t processing; ngx_uint_t frames; ngx_uint_t idle; + ngx_uint_t new_streams; + ngx_uint_t refused_streams; ngx_uint_t priority_limit; ngx_uint_t pushing;
