It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-282 advisory.

  • When gRPC HTTP2 stack raised a header size exceeded error, it skipped parsing the rest of the HPACK frame.
    This caused any HPACK table mutations to also be skipped, resulting in a desynchronization of HPACK tables between sender and receiver. If leveraged, say, between a proxy and a backend, this could lead to requests from the proxy being interpreted as containing headers from different proxy clients - leading to an information leak that can be used for privilege escalation or data exfiltration. We recommend upgrading beyond the commit contained in https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/33005 https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/33005 (CVE-2023-32731)

  • gRPC contains a vulnerability whereby a client can cause a termination of connection between a HTTP2 proxy and a gRPC server: a base64 encoding error for -bin suffixed headers will result in a disconnection by the gRPC server, but is typically allowed by HTTP2 proxies. We recommend upgrading beyond the commit in https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/32309 https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2023-32732)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
