Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions

CVE-2021-39162

High
8.6/10

Summary

Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, can abnormally terminate if an H/2 GOAWAY and SETTINGS frame is received in the same IO event. This can lead to a DoS in the presence of untrusted *upstream* servers. 0.15.1 contains an upgraded envoy binary with this vulnerability patched. If only trusted upstreams are configured, there is not a substantial risk of this condition being triggered. The affected versions are before 0.15.1.
