- Summary
- Sliver has Potential Zip Bomb Denial of Service in GzipEncoder
- Details
-
Summary
GzipEncoder does not limit output size when processing compressed data. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash sliver server by sending a http request with highly compressed gzip data (aka zip bomb).
Details
In
util/encoders/gzip.go,Decode()method decompresses given data by reading the entire gzip buffer at once without limiting output size.PoC
data = gzip.compress(bytes(1024 * 1024 * 1024)) * 16 requests.post(f"http://172.17.0.2/{nonce}", data=data)Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exhaust memory and cpu resource of sliver server and crash it when they have GzipEncoderID, which can be easily retrived from implant's http traffic, or by brute-forcing.
A fixed version is available at https://github.com/BishopFox/sliver/releases/tag/v1.7.2.
