Summary

Robur Albatross 1.0.0 through 2.x before 2.7.2 does not limit use of the ring buffer, leading to an albatross-console loop with no recognized termination condition. This is only exploitable by users who can send console subscription commands to unikernels that produce sufficient log output to fill the ring buffer (1024 lines). It is not exploitable by unauthorized clients.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user can cause a hang or loop in the console, potentially leading to denial of service. The impact is limited to users with the ability to send subscription commands.

Recommendation

Update Albatross to version 2.7.2 or later, which addresses the issue. Restrict permissions for sending console subscription commands.
