When handling a libprocess message wrapped in an HTTP request, libprocess in Apache Mesos before 1.1.3, 1.2.x before 1.2.2, 1.3.x before 1.3.1, and 1.4.0-dev crashes if the request path is empty, because the parser assumes the request path always starts with '/'. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-9790 can crash Apache Mesos masters when a malformed libprocess HTTP request has no request path. If exploitable against reachable Mesos control-plane services, the Mesos-managed cluster can become inoperable, creating an availability risk rather than a data-theft issue. Exposure is likely limited to environments running affected Apache Mesos versions, especially where Mesos master or libprocess HTTP interfaces are reachable by untrusted users or networks. The source bundle does not identify other affected products. Treat this as a high-priority availability issue for any production Mesos cluster on affected versions. It threatens cluster operability, but the provided sources do not indicate data compromise or confirmed active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Mesos to 1.1.3, 1.2.2, 1.3.1, or a later fixed release.; Avoid running affected 1.4.0-dev builds in production environments.; Restrict access to Mesos master and libprocess HTTP interfaces to trusted networks..
