| <h3>CVE-2017-7670: Apache Traffic Control Traffic Router Slowloris Denial of Service Vulnerability</h3> |
| <b>Severity:</b> High |
| <br/><br/> |
| <b>Vendor:</b> |
| <br/> |
| The Apache Software Foundation |
| <br/><br/> |
| <b>Versions Affected:</b> |
| <br/> |
| Traffic Control 1.8.0 |
| <br/> |
| Traffic Control 2.0.0 RC0 |
| <br/> |
| The unsupported Traffic Control 1.5.x, 1.6.x, and 1.7.x versions may be also affected |
| <br/><br/> |
| <b>Description:</b> |
| <br/> |
| The Traffic Router component of the incubating Apache Traffic Control project is vulnerable to a Slowloris style Denial of Service attack. TCP connections made on the configured DNS port will remain in the ESTABLISHED state until the client explicitly closes the connection or Traffic Router is restarted. If connections remain in the ESTABLISHED state indefinitely and accumulate in number to match the size of the thread pool dedicated to processing DNS requests, the thread pool becomes exhausted. Once the thread pool is exhausted, Traffic Router is unable to service any DNS request, regardless of transport protocol. |
| <br/><br/> |
| <b>Mitigation:</b> |
| <br/> |
| 1.8.x users should upgrade to 1.8.1 |
| <br/> |
| 2.0.x users should upgrade to 2.0.0 |
| <br/> |
| Pre 1.8.x users can apply this patch: <a href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafficcontrol/commit/738c10fa1b5861e4cc3944dc7c3065d16f4a708c">https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafficcontrol/commit/738c10fa1b5861e4cc3944dc7c3065d16f4a708c</a> |
