1.12.7 (September 29, 2020)

Changes

• http: fixed CVE-2020-25017. Previously header matching did not match on all headers for non-inline headers. This patch changes the default behavior to always logically match on all headers. Multiple individual headers will be logically concatenated with , similar to what is done with inline headers. This makes the behavior effectively consistent. This behavior can be temporary reverted by setting the runtime value envoy.reloadable_features.http_match_on_all_headers to false.

  Targeted fixes have been additionally performed on the following extensions which make them consider all duplicate headers by default as a comma concatenated list:

  1. Any extension using CEL matching on headers.

  2. The header to metadata filter.

  3. The JWT filter.

  4. The Lua filter.

  Like primary header matching used in routing, RBAC, etc. this behavior can be disabled by setting the runtime value envoy.reloadable_features.http_match_on_all_headers to false.
