Integer overflow in chunking helper causes dispatching to miss elements or panic

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 1, 2024 in authzed/spicedb

Package

gomod github.com/authzed/spicedb (Go)

Affected versions

< 1.29.2

Patched versions

1.29.2

Description

Any SpiceDB cluster with any schema where a resource being checked has more than 65535 relationships for the same resource and subject type is affected by this problem.

The issue may also lead to a panic rendering the server unavailable

The following API methods are affected:

Impact

Permission checks that are expected to be allowed are instead denied, and lookup subjects will return fewer subjects than expected.

Workarounds

There is no workaround other than making sure that the SpiceDB cluster does not have very wide relations, with the maximum value being the maximum value of an 16-bit unsigned integer

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
