Doc Text:
A flaw was found in HashiCorp Vault. Clusters using Vault’s Integrated Storage backend are vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack through memory exhaustion through a Raft cluster join API endpoint. This flaw allows an attacker to send a large volume of requests to the endpoint, which may cause Vault to consume excessive system memory resources, potentially leading to a crash of the underlying system and the Vault process itself.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-10-31 16:01:18 UTC 
Vault Community and Vault Enterprise (“Vault”) clusters using Vault’s Integrated Storage backend are vulnerable to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack through memory exhaustion through a Raft cluster join API endpoint . An attacker may send a large volume of requests to the endpoint which may cause Vault to consume excessive system memory resources, potentially leading to a crash of the underlying system and the Vault process itself.

This vulnerability, CVE-2024-8185, is fixed in Vault Community 1.18.1 and Vault Enterprise 1.18.1, 1.17.8, and 1.16.12.
