DescriptionNVD

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. From 1.18.0 until 1.35.13, 1.36.9, 1.37.5, and 1.38.3, the router filter contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability when handling HTTP 303 (See Other) internal redirects for body-less non-GET/HEAD requests. When a POST, PUT, DELETE, or PATCH request without a body is sent to a route configured with internal redirect policy that includes 303 in redirect_response_codes, and the upstream responds with HTTP 303, the redirect handling code attempts to drain a request body buffer that was never allocated. This results in a segmentation fault that crashes the entire Envoy process. When route configured with internal_redirect_policy including 303 in redirect_response_codes and upstream must return HTTP 303 response, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to cause complete denial of service, terminating all active connections. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.35.13, 1.36.9, 1.37.5, and 1.38.3.

AnalysisAI

Null pointer dereference in Envoy's router filter crashes the entire proxy process, terminating all active connections, when body-less non-GET/HEAD requests (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) encounter an upstream HTTP 303 response on a route configured with internal redirect policy. Affected versions span 1.18.0 through the fixes released in branches 1.35.13, 1.36.9, 1.37.5, and 1.38.3. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two non-default conditions must be simultaneously present. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS score of 5.9 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) correctly reflects the attack complexity trade-off: network-reachable and unauthenticated, but AC:H because triggering the crash requires two specific conditions to align - a non-default Envoy route configuration with 303 in redirect_response_codes AND an upstream that actually returns HTTP 303 to the offending request. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sends a body-less HTTP POST request to an Envoy-proxied route that has an internal_redirect_policy with 303 in its redirect_response_codes list; the upstream backend then returns HTTP 303, triggering Envoy's redirect handling code to attempt draining a request body buffer that was never allocated. The resulting null pointer dereference causes an immediate segmentation fault, crashing the Envoy worker process and abruptly terminating all connections it was handling - effectively a single-packet denial of service against any service mesh participant or edge proxy running the affected version with this configuration. …
Remediation Upgrade Envoy to one of the patched releases: 1.35.13, 1.36.9, 1.37.5, or 1.38.3, selecting the version that matches the currently deployed release branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
