Vulnerability in github.com/moby/spdystream (CVE-2026-35469)

Summary

Vulnerability in github.com/moby/spdystream (CVE-2026-35469). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via numSettings. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.5.1 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

The SPDY/3 frame parser in spdystream does not validate
attacker-controlled counts and lengths before allocating memory. A
remote peer that can send SPDY frames to a service using spdystream can
cause the process to allocate gigabytes of memory with a small number of
malformed control frames, leading to an out-of-memory crash.
 
Three allocation paths in the receive side are affected:

  1. SETTINGS entry count -- The SETTINGS frame reader reads a 32-bit
    numSettings from the payload and allocates a slice of that size
    without checking it against the declared frame length. An attacker
    can set numSettings to a value far exceeding the actual payload,
    triggering a large allocation before any setting data is read.
     
  2. Header count -- parseHeaderValueBlock reads a 32-bit
    numHeaders from the decompressed header block and allocates an
    http.Header map of that size with no upper bound.
     
  3. Header field size -- Individual header name and value lengths are
    read as 32-bit integers and used directly as allocation sizes with
    no validation.
     
    Because SPDY header blocks are zlib-compressed, a small on-the-wire
    payload can decompress into attacker-controlled bytes that the parser
    interprets as 32-bit counts and lengths. A single crafted frame is
    enough to exhaust process memory.

Impact

 Any program that accepts SPDY connections using spdystream -- directly
or through a dependent library -- is affected. A remote peer that can
send SPDY frames to the service can crash the…
