Apache Thrift: Buffered transport reads are not accounted against MaxMessageSize
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.42% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Thrift 0.25.0; azl3 httpd 2.4.68-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 0.25.0-1.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache Thrift 0.25.0; azl3 httpd 2.4.68-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 0.25.0-1 or later.
