GSD-2021-41186

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2021-11-01 00:00
Details
### Impact parser_apache2 plugin in Fluentd v0.14.14 to v1.14.1 suffers from a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) vulnerability. A broken apache log with a certain pattern of string can spend too much time in a regular expression, resulting in the potential for a DoS attack. ### Patches v1.14.2 ### Workarounds Either of the following: * Don't use parser_apache2 for parsing logs which cannot guarantee generated by Apache. * Put patched version of parser_apache2.rb into /etc/fluent/plugin directory (or any other directories specified by the environment variable `FLUENT_PLUGIN` or `--plugin` option of fluentd).
