Description

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 process with a single crafted SPDY control frame, causing denial of service.

Affected versions

 github.com/moby/spdystream <= v0.5.0

Fix

 v0.5.1 addresses the receive-side allocation bugs and adds related hardening:   Core fixes:  

  • SETTINGS entry-count validation -- The SETTINGS frame reader now checks that numSettings is consistent with the declared frame length (numSettings <= (length-4)/8) before allocating.  
  • Header count limit -- parseHeaderValueBlock enforces a maximum number of headers per frame (default: 1000).  
  • Header field size limit -- Individual header name and value lengths are checked against a per-field size limit (default: 1 MiB) before allocation.  
  • Connection closure on protocol error -- The connection read loop now closes the underlying net.Conn when it encounters an InvalidControlFrame error, preventing further exploitation on the same connection.   Additional hardening:  
  • Write-side bounds checks -- All frame write methods now verify that payloads fit within the 24-bit length field, preventing the library from producing invalid frames.   Configurable limits:  
  • Callers can adjust the defaults using NewConnectionWithOptions or the lower-level spdy.NewFramerWithOptions with functional options: WithMaxControlFramePayloadSize, WithMaxHeaderFieldSize, and WithMaxHeaderCount.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/moby/spdystream. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/moby/spdystream to 0.5.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pc3f-x583-g7j2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-pc3f-x583-g7j2 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-pc3f-x583-g7j2. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
