Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-06 16:43 – Updated: 2024-03-01 15:18

Summary

Notation vulnerable to denial of service from high number of artifact signatures

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.

CVE-2023-33957 (GCVE-0-2023-33957)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-06-06 18:10 – Updated: 2024-08-02 15:54

Title

Denial of service from high number of artifact signatures 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 inspect 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 are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may restrict container registries to a set of secure and trusted container registries.

Severity
