- Summary
- OpenID Connect client Atom Exhaustion in provider configuration worker ets table location
- Details
-
Impact
DOS by Atom exhaustion is possible by calling
oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_provider_configuration/1oroidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_jwks/1.Since the name is usually provided as a static value in the application using
oidcc, this is unlikely to be exploited.Details
Example to illustrate the vulnerability.
{ok, Claims} = oidcc:retrieve_userinfo( Token, myapp_oidcc_config_provider, <<"client_id">>, <<"client_secret">>, #{} )The vulnerability is present in
oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_ets_table_name/1. The functionget_ets_table_nameis callingerlang:list_to_atom/1.https://github.com/erlef/oidcc/blob/018dbb53dd752cb1e331637d8e0e6a489ba1fae9/src/oidccproviderconfiguration_worker.erl#L385-L388
There might be a case (Very highly improbable) where the 2nd argument of
oidcc_provider_configuration_worker:get_*/1is called with a different atom each time which eventually leads to the atom table filling up and the node crashing.Patches
Patched in
3.0.2,3.1.2&3.2.0-beta.3Workarounds
Make sure only valid provider configuration worker names are passed to the functions.
