GHSA-42mr-jpwh-m9rv: Linkerd resource exhaustion vulnerability
In Buoyant Edge releases before edge-25.2.1 and Enterprise for Linkerd releases 2.16.* before 2.16.5, 2.17.* before 2.17.2, and 2.18.* before 2.18.0, resource exhaustion can occur for Linkerd proxy 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.
