v1.83.1->v1.83.2gRPC-Go xDS servers: Denial of Service (DoS) via crash due to missing
:authorityandHostheadersCVE-2026-84445 / GHSA-2v4p-qf9q-27wj
More information
Details
A vulnerability exists in gRPC-Go servers configured with
xds.NewGRPCServer()where a crafted request missing both:authorityandHostheaders can cause a server panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).Servers built with
xds.NewGRPCServerinstall an xDS routing interceptor on every RPC. This interceptor looks up the request’s:authorityheader to pick a virtual host. The HTTP/2 server transport previously accepted requests that had neither:authoritynorHost. When this happened, the xDS routing interceptor attempted to access the first element of an empty slice of authorities, leading to an index out of bounds panic. Since the per-RPC goroutine does not recover from panics, the entire server process would terminate.This panic occurs in the interceptor pipeline, meaning the transport credentials handshake (TLS, mTLS, or ALTS) and HTTP/2 connection establishment must complete successfully before the crafted request can reach this logic.
Impact
An attacker can cause a complete outage of the gRPC server by sending a request missing both
:authorityandHostheaders, provided they can successfully establish a transport connection.Patches
The issue has been addressed in
master(and backported to1.83.2and1.82.2). The fix updates the HTTP/2 transport layer to reject requests missing both:authorityandHostheaders early, maintaining consistency with and other gRPC language implementations.Severity
High
