CVE-2021-43824

HIGH

Envoy < 1.18.6 - Denial of Service via CONNECT Request to JWT Filter with Regex Match

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. In affected versions a crafted request crashes Envoy when a CONNECT request is sent to JWT filter configured with regex match. This provides a denial of service attack vector. The only workaround is to not use regex in the JWT filter. Users are advised to upgrade.
