CVE-2018-11793: When parsing a JSON payload with deeply nested JSON structures, the parser in Apache Mesos versions pre-1.4...

When parsing a JSON payload with deeply nested JSON structures, the parser in Apache Mesos versions pre-1.4.x, 1.4.0 to 1.4.2, 1.5.0 to 1.5.1, 1.6.0 to 1.6.1, and 1.7.0 might overflow the stack due to unbounded recursion. 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

Apache Mesos masters can crash or become unavailable when processing overly deep JSON. If an affected master is disrupted, the Mesos-controlled cluster may become inoperable, creating business risk for workloads that depend on Mesos scheduling and control-plane availability. Exposure is limited to Apache Mesos deployments running pre-1.4.x, 1.4.0-1.4.2, 1.5.0-1.5.1, 1.6.0-1.6.1, or 1.7.0, especially where master-facing JSON parsing endpoints are reachable by untrusted users or networks. Treat as high priority where Mesos supports production workloads. The issue targets the control plane and can make dependent clusters inoperable, but urgency should be calibrated to whether affected Mesos masters are deployed and reachable. Mitigation focus: Inventory Apache Mesos versions across all master nodes.; Check Apache Mesos advisory and release guidance for fixed upgrade targets.; Prioritize moving affected versions out of production..
