Fedora 38: Moderate Update on 2023-10-24 for fbthrift DDoS Patch

fedora
Calendar Grey October 24, 2023
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 38 Release: fbthrift 2023.10.16.00 mitigates CVE-2023-44487 to bolster security measures.
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.
