OpenTelemetry Collector < 0.102.1 DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 200525

Language:

Synopsis

An installed application on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The OpenTelemetry Collector offers a vendor-agnostic implementation on how to receive, process and export telemetry data. An unsafe decompression vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the collector via excessive memory consumption. OTel Collector version 0.102.1 fixes this issue. It is also fixed in the confighttp module version 0.102.0 and configgrpc module version 0.102.1.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the version referenced in the vendor advisory.
