Description
Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 is affected by an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the CSS proxy (the utils/modcss action). The fetched stylesheet was read into memory in full, with no size limit and no read timeout, so a stylesheet URL referencing an attacker-controlled host could be used to exhaust server memory. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Add a size limit to the CSS proxy content processing”, which caps the response at 5 MB, reads it as a stream and applies a read timeout.
Affected products
- Roundcube Webmail: from 1.6.0 before 1.6.20; from 1.7.0 before 1.7.5 — fixed in 1.6.20, 1.7.5
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: Roundcube Webmail 1.6.20, 1.7.5. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
