In OpenStack Swift before 2.36.2 and 2.37.2, s3api middleware enters an infinite loop when processing a truncated aws-chunked PUT request body. The StreamingInput class repeatedly appends an empty buffer and re-reads, causing the proxy-server worker handling the request to become permanently unresponsive with increasing CPU and memory consumption. An authenticated attacker can systematically exhaust all proxy-server workers, resulting in denial of service. The defect was introduced in Swift 2.36.0.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in OpenStack Swift's s3api middleware allows an authenticated S3 API user to permanently hang proxy-server workers by sending a truncated aws-chunked PUT request body. Versions 2.36.0 through 2.36.1 and 2.37.0 through 2.37.1 are affected; the defect was introduced in 2.36.0 and fixed in 2.36.2 and 2.37.2. …
