Exploitation

No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure

Recommended action

Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Envoy 是一款专为云原生应用设计的开源边缘代理和服务代理。在 1.36.10、1.37.6、1.38.4 和 1.39.1 之前，Envoy 的 HTTP 外部授权（external-authorization）客户端可能在请求被拒绝后保留过期的请求回调。当随后处理授权响应时，它可能会在回调所有者已被销毁之后调用，从而导致“释放后使用”（use-after-free）错误，并在生产流量下引发进程崩溃。相关的作用域边界在于：受漏洞影响的路径使用的是 HTTP ext_authz 客户端；该安全公告并未证实其他

Vulnerability Title

Envoy: ext_authz - RawHttpClientImpl onSuccess 0x0 segfault

Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5

Vulnerability Description

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1, Envoy's HTTP external-authorization client can retain a stale request callback after a request is rejected. When RawHttpClientImpl::onSuccess later processes the authorization response, it can invoke callbacks_ after the callback owner has been destroyed, causing a use-after-free and process crash under production traffic. The relevant scope boundary is that the vulnerable path uses the HTTP ext_authz client; the advisory does not establish the same trigger for unrelated filters. This issue is fixed in versions 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1.
