Cloudbleed:Cloudflare 這次的安全問題

Cloudflare 把完整的時間軸與影響範圍都列出來了:「Incident report on memory leak caused by Cloudflare parser bug」。

出自於 2/18 時 GoogleTavis Ormandy 直接在 Twitter 上找 Cloudflare 的人:

Google 的 Project Zero 上的資料:「cloudflare: Cloudflare Reverse Proxies are Dumping Uninitialized Memory」。

起因在於 bug 造成有時候會送出不應該送的東西,可能包含了敏感資料:

It turned out that in some unusual circumstances, which I’ll detail below, our edge servers were running past the end of a buffer and returning memory that contained private information such as HTTP cookies, authentication tokens, HTTP POST bodies, and other sensitive data.

不過這邊不包括 SSL 的 key,主要是因為隔離開了:

For the avoidance of doubt, Cloudflare customer SSL private keys were not leaked. Cloudflare has always terminated SSL connections through an isolated instance of NGINX that was not affected by this bug.

不過由於這些敏感資料甚至還被 Google 收進 search engine,算是相當的嚴重,所以不只是 Cloudflare 得修好這個問題,還得跟眾多的 search engine 合作將這些資料移除:

Because of the seriousness of such a bug, a cross-functional team from software engineering, infosec and operations formed in San Francisco and London to fully understand the underlying cause, to understand the effect of the memory leakage, and to work with Google and other search engines to remove any cached HTTP responses.

bug 影響的時間從 2016/09/22 開始:

2016-09-22 Automatic HTTP Rewrites enabled
2017-01-30 Server-Side Excludes migrated to new parser
2017-02-13 Email Obfuscation partially migrated to new parser
2017-02-18 Google reports problem to Cloudflare and leak is stopped

而以 2/13 到 2/18 的流量反推估算,大約是 0.00003% 的 request 會可能產生這樣的問題:

The greatest period of impact was from February 13 and February 18 with around 1 in every 3,300,000 HTTP requests through Cloudflare potentially resulting in memory leakage (that’s about 0.00003% of requests).

不過不得不說 Tavis Ormandy 真的很硬,在沒有 source code 以及 Cloudflare 幫助的情況下直接打出可重製的步驟:

I worked with cloudflare over the weekend to help clean up where I could. I've verified that the original reproduction steps I sent cloudflare no longer work.
