Fedora 37: FEDORA-2023-2a9214af5f Critical Proxygen DDoS Threat

fedora
Calendar Grey October 24, 2023
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora has released an update for the fbthrift package, which resolves security concerns related to proxygen, notably a severe vulnerability that could lead to DDoS attacks.
Update Folly stack to the latest 2023.10.16.00 tag proxygen: Security fix for CVE-2023-44487

Summary

Thrift is a serialization and RPC framework for service communication. Thrift

enables these features in all major languages, and there is strong support for

C++, Python, Hack, and Java. Most services at Facebook are written using Thrift

for RPC, and some storage systems use Thrift for serializing records on disk.

Facebook Thrift is not a distribution of Apache Thrift. This is an evolved

internal branch of Thrift that Facebook re-released to open source community in

February 2014. Facebook Thrift was originally released closely tracking Apache

Thrift but is now evolving in new directions. In particular, the compiler was

rewritten from scratch and the new implementation features a fully asynchronous

Thrift server.
