Denial of service in OpenResty 1.29.2.1 through 1.29.2.4 arises from an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in the upstream PROXY protocol v2 implementation; when the platform is configured to prepend PROXY protocol v2 headers to upstream connections, header construction in the stream proxy-protocol-v2 patch overruns its allocated buffer and crashes the worker process. Any environment that has explicitly enabled PROXY protocol v2 for upstream connections is affected, degrading availability without any impact to confidentiality or integrity. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on CISA KEV; it is resolved in OpenResty 1.29.2.5.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
OpenResty is a high performance web platform. From 1.29.2.1 to before 1.29.2.5, an out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the upstream PROXY protocol v2 implementation. When OpenResty is configured to send PROXY protocol version 2 headers to upstream servers, constructing the header in the stream proxy protocol v2 patch can write beyond the bounds of the allocated buffer, causing the worker process to crash and resulting in a denial of service. Only configurations that explicitly enable PROXY protocol v2 for upstream connections are impacted. This issue is fixed in version 1.29.2.5.
Executive ViewAI
OpenResty instances (1.29.2.1-1.29.2.4) with PROXY protocol v2 enabled are vulnerable to denial of service attacks that disable worker processes and disrupt service availability. Affected deployments rely on this component for upstream connection routing. A vendor patch is available; organizations must identify exposed infrastructure and prioritize upgrades to OpenResty 1.29.2.5.
Within 24 hours: Inventory OpenResty deployments and identify which have PROXY protocol v2 enabled for upstream connections. Within 7 days: Upgrade affected systems to OpenResty 1.29.2.5. Within 30 days: Verify all OpenResty instances running versions 1.29.2.1-1.29.2.4 have been upgraded and none remain in production.
Apply vendor patch.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
