Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2019-04-10 07:12:35 UTC
From ${URL} :

A flaw was found in Envoy 1.9.0 and older. When parsing HTTP/1.x header values, Envoy does not reject embedded zero characters (NUL, ASCII 
0x0). This allows remote attackers crafting header values containing embedded NUL characters to potentially bypass header matching rules, 
gaining access to unauthorized resources.

@maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.

We're not packaging envoy here but only the istioctl command binary. Not vulnerable.
