CVE-2016-0780

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

It was discovered that cf-release v231 and lower, Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime 1.5.x versions prior to 1.5.17 and Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime 1.6.x versions prior to 1.6.18 do not properly enforce disk quotas in certain cases. An attacker could use an improper disk quota value to bypass enforcement and consume all the disk on DEAs/CELLs causing a potential denial of service for other applications.

Risk Assessment

The lack of proper enforcement of disk quotas may lead to complete disk consumption, which in turn could prevent other applications from functioning. This creates a denial of service risk that could affect service availability for users.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of cf-release and Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime to ensure proper enforcement of disk quotas. Additionally, monitoring disk usage is advisable to quickly respond to potential issues.
