CVE-2023-32731 - High Severity Vulnerability

Vulnerable Libraries - grpcv1.25.0, grpcv1.25.0, grpcv1.25.0

Vulnerability Details

When gRPC HTTP2 stack raised a header size exceeded error, it skipped parsing the rest of the HPACK frame. This caused any HPACK table mutations to also be skipped, resulting in a desynchronization of HPACK tables between sender and receiver. If leveraged, say, between a proxy and a backend, this could lead to requests from the proxy being interpreted as containing headers from different proxy clients - leading to an information leak that can be used for privilege escalation or data exfiltration. We recommend upgrading beyond the commit contained in  grpc/grpc#33005 grpc/grpc#33005
