Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Impact

The eventing-gitlab cluster-local server doesn't set ReadHeaderTimeout‬‭ which could lead do a DDoS‬ ‭attack, where a large group of users send requests to the server causing the server to hang‬ ‭for long enough to deny it from being available to other users, also know as a Slowloris‬ ‭attack.

Fix in v1.12.1 and v1.11.3.

Credits

The vulnerability was reported by Ada Logics during an ongoing security audit of Knative involving Ada Logics, the Knative maintainers, OSTIF and CNCF.
