OAuthLib vulnerable to DoS when attacker provides malicious IPV6 URI
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
- Attacker providing malicious redirect uri can cause DoS to oauthlib's web application.
- Attacker can also leverage usage of `uri_validate` functions depending where it is used.
_What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_
Oauthlib applications using OAuth2.0 provider support or use directly `uri_validate` function.
### Patches
_Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_
Issue fixed in 3.2.2 release.
### Workarounds
_Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_
The `redirect_uri` can be verified in web toolkit (i.e `bottle-oauthlib`, `django-oauth-toolkit`, ...) before oauthlib is called. A sample check if `:` is present to reject the request can prevent the DoS, assuming no port or IPv6 is fundamentally required.
