| Title | OpenStack Swift Accept Header Regular Expression ReDoS Enables Denial of Service |
Wed, 05 Aug 2026 05:30:00 +0000
| Type | Values Removed | Values Added |
|---|---|---|
| Description | In OpenStack Swift through 2.38.0, the proxy server Accept header parser contains a regular expression vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS). The "qdtext" pattern (?:[^"]|\\.)* allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a crafted Accept header that causes exponential CPU consumption in the proxy worker. A payload of 32 backslash-character pairs exceeds 30 seconds of CPU time. No authentication is required. Repeated requests can exhaust all proxy worker threads, resulting in a complete denial of service. | |
