Unverified File Handles can Cause Excessive Use of System Resources

Summary

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Erlang OTP ssh (ssh_sftp modules) allows Excessive Allocation, Resource Leak Exposure. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/ssh/src/ssh_sftpd.erl.

This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 28.0.3, OTP 27.3.4.3 and OTP 26.2.5.15, corresponding to ssh from 3.0.1 before 5.3.3, 5.2.11.3 and 5.1.4.12.

Workarounds

* Disable sftp * limiting number of max_sessions allowed for sshd, so exploiting becomes more complicated

Configurations

The SFTP subsystem must be enabled on the SSH server and the SSH port must be reachable by the attacker. SFTP is enabled by default unless explicitly disabled by setting {subsystems, []} in the SSH daemon configuration.
