Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, contains two authorization related vulnerabilities:
- [CVE-2021-32777](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-32779): incorrectly transform a URL containing a `#fragment` element, causing a mismatch in path-prefix based authorization decisions.
- [CVE-2021-32779](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-32777): incorrectly handle duplicate headers, dropping all but the last. This may lead to incorrect routing or authorization policy decisions.
### Impact
With specially crafted requests, incorrect authorization or routing decisions may be made by Pomerium.
### Patches
Pomerium v0.14.8 and v0.15.1 contain an upgraded envoy binary with these vulnerabilities patched.
### Workarounds
- This issue can only be triggered when using path prefix based policy. Removing any such policies should provide mitigation.
