Summary

Klever-Go, the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol, versions 1.7.14 through 1.7.17 are vulnerable to a remotely triggerable denial of service. REST APIs are started with the default Go HTTP server without ReadHeaderTimeout, ReadTimeout, or MaxHeaderBytes configured, allowing connections to be held open indefinitely, exhausting file descriptors.

Risk Assessment

A single unauthenticated client can block access to the REST API, causing unavailability for legitimate users.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 1.7.18, which contains the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. Versions from 1.7.14 through 1.7.17 are vulnerable to a remotely triggerable denial of service. Both REST APIs are started with the Gin Engine.Run convenience method, which serves requests through Go's default HTTP server with no ReadHeaderTimeout, ReadTimeout, or MaxHeaderBytes configured. As a result, incoming connections that never complete their request headers are held open indefinitely. When a REST listener is reachable beyond localhost through the documented all-interface bind or a Docker port-publish deployment, a single unauthenticated client can open many slow-header connections and hold them open until server file descriptors are exhausted, preventing the API from accepting new connections. This renders the REST API unavailable to legitimate clients. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.18.
