CVE-2020-12059

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ceph versions through 13.2.9

Description The issue is related to errors in POST requests with invalid XML tags, which can cause a NULL pointer exception and crash the RGW process. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For versions through 13.2.9, consider restricting access to the RGW process to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using invalid XML tags in POST requests to prevent crashing the RGW process. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
