2019-08-15, Version 8.17.0 'Carbon' (LTS), @BethGriggs

Notable changes

This is a security release.

Node.js, as well as many other implementations of HTTP/2, have been found
vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks.
See https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-002.md
for more information.

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2019-9511 “Data Dribble”: The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9512 “Ping Flood”: The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9513 “Resource Loop”: The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9514 “Reset Flood”: The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9515 “Settings Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9516 “0-Length Headers Leak”: The attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory for these headers and keep the allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume excess memory, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9517 “Internal Data Buffering”: The attacker opens the HTTP/2 window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write (many of) the bytes on the wire. The attacker then sends a stream of requests for a large response object. Depending on how the servers queue the responses, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2019-9518 “Empty Frames Flood”: The attacker sends a stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag. These frames can be DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION and/or PUSH_PROMISE. The peer spends time processing each frame disproportionate to attack bandwidth. This can consume excess CPU, potentially leading to a denial of service. (Discovered by Piotr Sikora of Google)

http2: only call into JS when necessary for session events
dd60d35 
For some JS events, it only makes sense to call into JS when there
are listeners for the event in question.

The overhead is noticeable if a lot of these events are emitted during
the lifetime of a session. To reduce this overhead, keep track of
whether any/how many JS listeners are present, and if there are none,
skip calls into JS altogether.

This is part of performance improvements to mitigate CVE-2019-9513.

http2: do not create ArrayBuffers when no DATA received
7de642b 
Lazily allocate `ArrayBuffer`s for the contents of DATA frames.
Creating `ArrayBuffer`s is, sadly, not a cheap operation with V8.

This is part of performance improvements to mitigate CVE-2019-9513.

Together with the previous commit, these changes improve throughput
in the adversarial case by about 100 %, and there is little more
that we can do besides artificially limiting the rate of incoming
metadata frames (i.e. after this patch, CPU usage is virtually
exclusively in libnghttp2).

[This backport also applies changes from 83e1b97 and required
some manual work due to the lack of `AllocatedBuffer` on v10.x.
More work was necessary for v8.x, including copying utilities
for `util.h` from more recent Node.js versions.]

http2: limit number of rejected stream openings
11b4e2c 
Limit the number of streams that are rejected upon creation. Since
each such rejection is associated with an `NGHTTP2_ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM`
error that should tell the peer to not open any more streams,
continuing to open streams should be read as a sign of a misbehaving
peer. The limit is currently set to 100 but could be changed or made
configurable.

This is intended to mitigate CVE-2019-9514.

If we are waiting for the ability to send more output, we should not
process more input. This commit a) makes us send output earlier,
during processing of input, if we accumulate a lot and b) allows
interrupting the call into nghttp2 that processes input data
and resuming it at a later time, if we do find ourselves in a position
where we are waiting to be able to send more output.
