Vulnerability from tailscale

Description: Partial loss of audit and network flow logs

What happened?

An integer overflow in our logs processing service led to some customer logs to be non-deterministically dropped with a probability of 14%. The overflow condition first exhibited on June 7th, 2024 at 20:45 UTC and was detected and resolved by June 14th, 2024 at 00:40 UTC.

Who was affected?

All tailnets that rely on audit and network flow logs have been affected.

What was the impact?

The 14% chance of dropped log entries affects storing of logs such as configuration audit logs and network flow logs. While logs can be retrieved for the timeframe that the overflow bug was active, some fraction of the entries may be missing.

What do I need to do?

No action is needed at this time.

We fixed the bug, added additional error checking, and deployed both to the logs processing service.
