Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-06-06 18:13 – Updated: 2024-08-02 15:54

Title

Default `maxSignatureAttempts` in `notation verify` enables an endless data attack in notation

Summary

notation is a CLI tool to sign and verify OCI artifacts and container images. An attacker who has compromised a registry and added a high number of signatures to an artifact can cause denial of service of services on the machine, if a user runs notation verify command on the same machine. The problem has been fixed in the release v1.0.0-rc.6. Users should upgrade their notation packages to v1.0.0-rc.6 or above. Users unable to upgrade may restrict container registries to a set of secure and trusted container registries.

GHSA-RVRX-RRWH-R9P6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-06 16:44 – Updated: 2023-06-16 17:53

Summary

Notation's default `maxSignatureAttempts` in `notation verify` enables an endless data attack

Details

Impact

An attacker who controls or compromises a registry can make the registry serve an infinite number of signatures for the artifact, causing a denial of service to the host machine running notation verify.

Patches

The problem has been fixed in the release v1.0.0-rc.6. Users should upgrade their notation packages to v1.0.0-rc.6 or above.

Workarounds

User should use secure and trusted container registries

Credits

The notation project would like to thank Adam Korczynski (@AdamKorcz) for responsibly disclosing the issue found during an security audit (facilitated by OSTIF and sponsored by CNCF) and Shiwei Zhang (@shizhMSFT) for root cause analysis.

Severity

6.5 (Medium)
