Summary
Denial of Service in Page Error Handling
Details

Meta

  • CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C (5.5)
  • CWE-405, CWE-674
  • Status: DRAFT

Problem

Requesting invalid or non-existing resources via HTTP triggers the page error handler which again could retrieve content to be shown as error message from another page. This leads to a scenario in which the application is calling itself recursively - amplifying the impact of the initial attack until the limits of the web server are exceeded.

Solution

Update to TYPO3 versions 9.5.25, 10.4.14, 11.1.1 that fix the problem described.

Credits

Thanks to Paul Keller, Mathias Bolt Lesniak and Kay Strobach who reported this issue and to TYPO3 framework merger Frank Nägler and to TYPO3 security team member Torben Hansen who fixed the issue.
