CVE-2022-23487

js-libp2p is the official javascript Implementation of libp2p networking stack. Versions older than `v0.38.0` of js-libp2p are vulnerable to targeted resource exhaustion attacks. These attacks target libp2p’s connection, stream, peer, and memory management. An attacker can cause the allocation of large amounts of memory, ultimately leading to the process getting killed by the host’s operating system. While a connection manager tasked with keeping the number of connections within manageable limits has been part of js-libp2p, this component was designed to handle the regular churn of peers, not a targeted resource exhaustion attack. Users are advised to update their js-libp2p dependency to `v0.38.0` or greater. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Summary
  • (es) js-libp2p es la implementación oficial de JavaScript de la pila de redes libp2p. Las versiones anteriores a `v0.38.0` de js-libp2p son vulnerables a ataques de agotamiento de recursos dirigidos. Estos ataques tienen como objetivo la gestión de conexión, flujo, pares y memoria de libp2p. Un atacante puede provocar la asignación de grandes cantidades de memoria, lo que en última instancia lleva a que el sistema operativo del host elimine el proceso. Si bien un administrador de conexiones encargado de mantener la cantidad de conexiones dentro de los límites manejables ha sido parte de js-libp2p, este componente fue diseñado para manejar la rotación regular de pares, no un ataque de agotamiento de recursos dirigido. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen su dependencia js-libp2p a `v0.38.0` o superior. No se conocen workaround para esta vulnerabilidad.
