OpenBao vulnerable to denial of service via malicious JSON request processing

OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. In OpenBao versions prior to 2.4.1, JSON objects after decoding may use significantly more memory than their serialized version. It is possible to craft a JSON payload to maximize the factor between serialized memory usage and deserialized memory usage, similar to a zip bomb, with factors reaching approximately 35. This can be used to circumvent the max_request_size configuration parameter which is intended to protect against denial of service attacks. The request body is parsed into a map very early in the request handling chain before authentication, which means an unauthenticated attacker can send a specifically crafted JSON object and cause an out-of-memory crash. Additionally, for requests with large numbers of strings, the audit subsystem can consume large quantities of CPU. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.4.1.

OpenBao 资源管理错误漏洞

OpenBao是OpenBao开源的一个敏感数据管理软件。 OpenBao 2.4.1之前版本存在资源管理错误漏洞，该漏洞源于JSON对象反序列化后可能占用过多内存，可能导致拒绝服务攻击。
