Summary

Traefik from 3.2.0 before 3.7.15 contains a data race in the experimental FastProxy component (CWE-567). An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly open and abort upgraded HTTP/1 connections such as WebSocket, corrupting a shared buffer and triggering an unrecovered panic that terminates the process, causing denial of service.

Description from the CNA

Traefik from 3.2.0 before 3.7.15 contains a data race in the experimental FastProxy that allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the process by abusing HTTP/1 protocol upgrades. Attackers can repeatedly open and abort upgraded connections such as WebSocket, corrupting the unsynchronized shared bufio.Reader and triggering an unrecovered panic that terminates Traefik.
