Prevent DoS on deadlocked undecided channel in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh

CVE-2026-78662 / GO-2026-6354

More information

Details

Previously, a channel registered in the mux's chanList is not usable until it is established. A malicious peer was able flood the channel's incomingRequests, deadlocking the entire connection.

Now, we add an atomic established state, set when a channel becomes usable. Until such a time, handlePacket drops every packet other than the open confirmation/failure, without blocking and without tearing down the connection.

Severity

Unknown

Prevent DoS on deadlocked established channel in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh

CVE-2026-56855 / GO-2026-6355

More information

Details

Previously, after a channel has been established, a malicious peer could send crafted messages that would deadlock the entire connection.

Now, we handle all RFC 4254 channel messages; global requests are handled explicitly. Then, treat all other messages as a protocol error and tear the connection down instead of buffering and blocking.

gRPC-Go: Heap Memory Exhaustion (OOM) via HTTP/2 DATA Frame Fragmentation

CVE-2026-84304 / GHSA-vp52-pcj8-j9qc

More information

Details

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker can initiate a gRPC stream and purposefully fragment their payload into millions of tiny (e.g., 1-byte) HTTP/2 DATA frames. Even if the total payload volume falls within the configured connection and stream flow-control windows, each independent fragment incurs memory overhead due to internal tracking structures and queue allocation.

Repeated fragmentation massively inflates the heap space consumed by the stream. An attacker multiplexing multiple concurrent streams can exhaust the memory bounds of the runtime, forcing a runtime panic or OutOfMemory condition and leading to a remote Denial of Service (DoS).

Patches

The change to fix this issue is merged in master and a patch release, 1.83.1, has been published that contains this fix.

Workarounds

This vulnerability is mitigated by implementing receive buffer compaction. Consecutive small data buffers are automatically coalesced into larger buffers from a shared pool once the overhead is perceived to be excessive relative to actual payload data, drastically minimizing per-frame memory overheads.

This behavior is enabled by default. A temporary escape hatch is provided via the environment variable GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_RECEIVE_BUFFER_COMPACTION=false to disable the feature if unforeseen issues arise, but it will be removed in a future release.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 8.7 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Release Notes

grpc/grpc-go (google.golang.org/grpc)

v1.83.1: Release 1.83.1

Compare Source

Security

  • xds/rbac: Fix a bug where nested Principal or Permission rules with :scheme or grpc- prefixed header matchers were not rejected, which could cause DENY rules to fail open. (#​9258)
  • xds/rbac: Fix a bug where the host header matcher was not being replaced with :authority in nested Principal or Permission rules. (#​9258)
  • xds/rbac: Fix a bug where a header matcher whose name was not lowercase, such as X-Role, matched no header, which could cause DENY rules to fail open. (#​9332)
  • xds/rbac: Fix a bug where a :scheme or grpc- prefixed header matcher was accepted when its name was not lowercase. (#​9332)
  • xds/rbac: Fix a bug where a Host header matcher was not replaced with :authority. (#​9332)

Performance

  • transport: Restrict memory overhead of buffering small data frames. (#​9331)

v1.83.0: Release 1.83.0

Compare Source

Security

  • server: Stop reading from connections when flooded by HTTP/2 frames to mitigate resource exhaustion. The default value for this limit is 100 frames, excluding DATA and HEADERS, and may be changed by setting environment variable GRPC_GO_EXPERIMENTAL_CONTROL_BUFFER_THROTTLE_LIMIT.
  • xds/rbac: Support Metadata and RequestedServerName permissions matcher fields. If present in a DENY rule, previously these would be ignored and fail-open.
  • xds/rbac: Fix panic when parsing unsupported fields in NotRule/NotId permissions.
  • xds/rbac: Support the deprecated source_ip principal identifier by treating it as equivalent to direct_remote_ip.
  • xds: Fix panic when parsing route header matchers configured with empty exact_match, prefix_match, or suffix_match strings. (#​9223)

New Features

  • xds/googlec2p: Enable DirectPath over Interconnect support for on-premises clients via the force-xds target URI query parameter. (#​9133)
  • xds: Enable xDS configuration to control which fields get propagated from ORCA backend metric reports to LRS load reports. (#​9145)
  • authz: Add OnPolicyUpdate callback to FileWatcherOptions to notify when an authz policy is loaded or updated. (#​9142)
  • xds: Add support for the GCP Authentication HTTP Filter, which automatically fetches and attaches GCP Service Account Identity JWT tokens to outgoing RPCs.
    • This feature can be enabled by setting environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_GCP_AUTHENTICATION_FILTER=true. (#​9119)
  • xds: Add support for xDS-based HTTP CONNECT proxies.
    • This feature can be enabled by setting environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_HTTP_CONNECT=true. (#​9151)
  • xds: Add support for contains_match in route header matchers. (#​9223)

Bug Fixes

  • credentials/alts: Fix panic when processing malformed frames by validating that the message frame length exceeds the message type field size. (#​9197)
  • grpc: Fix compilation on Plan 9 targets (GOOS=plan9), broken since v1.81.0. (#​9255)

v1.82.2: Release 1.82.2

Compare Source

Security

  • server: Reject requests missing both :authority and Host headers with HTTP 400 and status Internal. (#​9365)
