Vulnerability in swift (DEBIAN-CVE-2026-49017)

Summary

Vulnerability in swift (DEBIAN-CVE-2026-49017). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.35.1-0+deb13u2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In OpenStack Swift before 2.36.2 and 2.37.2, s3api middleware enters an infinite loop when processing a truncated aws-chunked PUT request body. The StreamingInput class repeatedly appends an empty buffer and re-reads, causing the proxy-server worker handling the request to become permanently unresponsive with increasing CPU and memory consumption. An authenticated attacker can systematically exhaust all proxy-server workers, resulting in denial of service. The defect was introduced in Swift 2.36.0.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'swift' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で swift を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade swift to 2.35.1-0+deb13u2
```
ステージング環境で 2.35.1-0+deb13u2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
