Envoy version 1.14.2, 1.13.2, 1.12.4 or earlier may exhaust file descriptors and/or memory when accepting too many connections.

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:0065-1 advisory.

  - Envoy version 1.14.2, 1.13.2, 1.12.4 or earlier may consume excessive amounts of memory when proxying     HTTP/2 requests or responses with many small (i.e. 1 byte) data frames. (CVE-2020-12603)

  - Envoy version 1.14.2, 1.13.2, 1.12.4 or earlier is susceptible to increased memory usage in the case where     an HTTP/2 client requests a large payload but does not send enough window updates to consume the entire     stream and does not reset the stream. (CVE-2020-12604)

  - Envoy version 1.14.2, 1.13.2, 1.12.4 or earlier may consume excessive amounts of memory when processing     HTTP/1.1 headers with long field names or requests with long URLs. (CVE-2020-12605)

  - Envoy before 1.16.1 mishandles dropped and truncated datagrams, as demonstrated by a segmentation fault     for a UDP packet size larger than 1500. (CVE-2020-35471)

  - Envoy version 1.14.2, 1.13.2, 1.12.4 or earlier may exhaust file descriptors and/or memory when accepting     too many connections. (CVE-2020-8663)
