CVE-2022-39272

Improper use of metav1.Duration allows for Denial of Service

Summary

Improper use of metav1.Duration allows for Denial of Service

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Flux controllers within the affected versions range are vulnerable to a denial of service attack. Users that have permissions to change Flux’s objects, either through a Flux source or directly within a cluster, can provide invalid data to fields .spec.interval or .spec.timeout (and structured variations of these fields), causing the entire object type to stop being processed.

The issue has two root causes: a) the Kubernetes type metav1.Duration not being fully compatible with the Go type time.Duration as explained on upstream report; b) lack of validation within Flux to restrict allowed values.

Workarounds

Admission controllers can be employed to restrict the values that can be used for fields .spec.interval and .spec.timeout, however upgrading to the latest versions is still the recommended mitigation.

Credits

This issue was reported by Alexander Block (@codablock) through the Flux security mailing list (as recommended).
