Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.104715
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Grafana 7.3.0-beta1 < 8.5.24, 9.x < 9.2.17, 9.3.x < 9.3.13, 9.4.x < 9.4.9 DoS Vulnerability
Summary:Grafana is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in; the crewjam/saml library used for SAML integration.
Description:Summary:
Grafana is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in
the crewjam/saml library used for SAML integration.

Vulnerability Insight:
Grafana is using crewjam/saml library for SAML integration. On
March 23, an advisory and relevant fix was published in the upstream library, which described a
vulnerability allowing denial of service attack.

Vulnerability Impact:
The use of flate.NewReader in crewjam/saml does not limit the
size of the input. The user could pass more than 1 MB of data in the HTTP request to the
processing functions, which will be decompressed server-side using the Deflate algorithm.
Therefore, after repeating the same request multiple times, it is possible to achieve a reliable
crash since the operating system kills the process.

In Grafana Enterprise, SAML single logout is using the aforementioned functions. Therefore, it's
impacted by the vulnerability.

Affected Software/OS:
Grafana versions starting from 7.3.0-beta1 and prior to 8.5.24,
9.x prior to 9.2.17, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.13 and 9.4.x prior to 9.4.9.

Solution:
- Update to version 8.5.24, 9.2.17, 9.3.13, 9.4.9 or later.

- As an alternative mitigation, disabling single logout in SAML or not using the SAML
authentication entirely would mitigate the vulnerability.

CVSS Score:
