Envoy crashes when JWT authentication is configured with the remote JWKS fetching

view advisory published 2025-12-05Licence: CC-BY-4.0

### Summary Envoy crashes when JWT authentication is configured with the remote JWKS fetching, `allow_missing_or_failed` is enabled, multiple JWT tokens are present in the request headers and the JWKS fetch fails. ### Details This is caused by a re-entry bug in the `JwksFetcherImpl`. When the first token's JWKS fetch fails, `onJwksError()` callback triggers processing of the second token, which calls fetch() again on the same fetcher object. The original callback's reset() then clears the second fetch's state (`receiver_ and request_`) which causes a crash when the async HTTP response arrives. ### PoC * `allow_missing_or_failed` or `allow_missing` is enabled * The client send 2 Authorization headers * the remote JWKS fetching failed * There will be crash ### Impact DoS and Crash ### Mitigation * Disable the `allow_missing_or_failed` or `allow_missing`
