What is CVE-2023-4785?

A vulnerability exists in the TCP server of Google's gRPC, affecting versions starting from 1.23 on posix-compatible platforms, such as Linux. This flaw arises from inadequate error handling, enabling an attacker to execute a denial of service attack by establishing a large number of connections to the server. While the gRPC implementations in C++, Python, and Ruby are susceptible, the Java and Go versions remain unaffected. It is crucial for users of the impacted versions to implement appropriate safeguards to mitigate potential risks.
