Apache bRPC: Remote command injection vulnerability in heap builtin service
Summary
Apache bRPC: Remote command injection vulnerability in heap builtin service
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Remote command injection vulnerability in heap profiler builtin service in Apache bRPC ((all versions < 1.15.0)) on all platforms allows attacker to inject remote command.
Root Cause: The bRPC heap profiler built-in service (/pprof/heap) does not validate the user-provided extra_options parameter and executes it as a command-line argument. Attackers can execute remote commands using the extra_options parameter..
Affected scenarios: Use the built-in bRPC heap profiler service to perform jemalloc memory profiling.
How to Fix: we provide two methods, you can choose one of them:
- Upgrade bRPC to version 1.15.0.
- Apply this patch ( https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3101 ) manually.
