An integer underflow in the mcpack2pb component of Apache bRPC (version < 1.18.0) on all platforms allows remote attackers to crash a bRPC server by sending a request containing a string field with a zero value_size. The UnparsedValue::as_string() function computes `_size – 1` without validating `_size`; when value_size is 0 the expression underflows to SIZE_MAX, resize() throws std::length_error, and because the exception is not caught on the request parsing path the process aborts (SIGABRT).<\/p>\n
Root Cause:
\nIn src\/mcpack2pb\/parser.cpp, UnparsedValue::as_string() resizes the output string to `_size – 1`, where `_size` is the value_size of a string field taken directly from the network data. A value_size of 0 underflows the unsigned size_t, and the subsequent resize() throws an exception that is not caught.<\/p>\n
Affected Scenarios:
\nbRPC servers that accept nshead frames wired to the ubrpc mcpack2 adaptor (for example the NsheadService + UbrpcMcpack2Adaptor deployment pattern) can be crashed by a single unauthenticated request. Stock open-source bRPC registers the ubrpc\/nshead_mcpack protocols as client-only, so default server configurations are not affected.<\/p>\n
How to Fix:
\n1. Upgrade bRPC to a version that includes this fix.
\n2. Apply the patch in PR\u00a0 https:\/\/github.com\/apache\/brpc\/pull\/3450<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
