Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201908-13
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2019-08-16
CVE-ID : CVE-2019-9511 CVE-2019-9513 CVE-2019-9516
Package : nginx
Type : denial of service
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1023
Summary
=======
The package nginx before version 1.16.1-1 is vulnerable to denial of
service.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 1.16.1-1.
# pacman -Syu "nginx>=1.16.1-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 1.16.1.
Workaround
==========
Disable http/2 support.
Description
===========
- CVE-2019-9511 (denial of service)
An issue has been found in several HTTP/2 implementations, where the
attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over
multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to
force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how
efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory,
or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
- CVE-2019-9513 (denial of service)
An issue has been found in several HTTP/2 implementations, where the
attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the
priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the
priority tree. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a
denial of service.
- CVE-2019-9516 (denial of service)
An issue has been found in several HTTP/2 implementations, where the
attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and
0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or
greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory for these headers
and keep the allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume
excess memory, potentially leading to a denial of service.
Impact
======
A remote attacker is able cause a denial of service by sending a
specially crafted packet.
