CVE-2023-44487 — Laboratoire de test de la réinitialisation rapide HTTP/2
Environnement pédagogique pour le devoir 4 de LTAT.04.022.
Quatre conteneurs vous permettent d'analyser et de comparer des configurations vulnérables et corrigées.
Tableau des ports
| Conteneur | Port | Logiciel | Statut |
|---|
| nginx-vuln | 8441 | nginx 1.24 | Vulnérable |
| nginx-secure | 8442 | nginx latest | Corrigé |
| apache-vuln | 8443 | Apache 2.4.57 | Vulnérable |
| apache-secure | 8444 | Apache latest | Corrigé |
1. Configuration
# Generate self-signed TLS certs (required by all containers)
bash gen-certs.sh
# Start all 4 containers
docker compose up -d
# Verify all are running
docker compose ps
2. Test de connectivité de base
# Check each container responds (ignore cert warning with -k)
curl -k --http2 -I https://localhost:8441 # nginx vulnerable
curl -k --http2 -I https://localhost:8442 # nginx secure
curl -k --http2 -I https://localhost:8443 # apache vulnerable
curl -k --http2 -I https://localhost:8444 # apache secure
Attendu : HTTP/2 200 des quatre conteneurs.
3. Confirmer que HTTP/2 est actif
curl -k --http2 -v https://localhost:8441 2>&1 | grep -E "ALPN|HTTP/"
Recherchez :
* ALPN: server accepted h2
< HTTP/2 200
4. Exécuter le scanner CVE
# Copy the scanner here first (or adjust the path)
cp ../scanner.py .
python3 scanner.py localhost 8441 # nginx vuln
python3 scanner.py localhost 8442 # nginx secure
python3 scanner.py localhost 8443 # apache vuln
python3 scanner.py localhost 8444 # apache secure
Résultats attendus :
5. Vérifier les limites de flux (différence clé)
Utilisez nghttp pour inspecter la trame SETTINGS que chaque serveur envoie.
Cela montre directement la valeur SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS.
# Install nghttp2 client
sudo apt install nghttp2-client # Ubuntu/Debian
brew install nghttp2 # macOS
# Inspect SETTINGS frame
for port in 8441 8442 8443 8444; LIKELY PAdo
streams=$(nghttp -nvy https://localhost:$port 2>&1 | grep "MAX_CONCURRENT" | tail -1 | awk -F: '{print $2}' | tr -d ']')
echo "port $port → MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS: $streams"
done
# (Results)
port 8441 → MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS: 128
port 8442 → MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS: 32
port 8443 → MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS: 1000
port 8444 → MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS: 32
Serveur vulnérable : limite de flux élevée (128+)
Serveur sécurisé : limité à 32
6. Simuler la pression de réinitialisation rapide (sûr, local uniquement)
Cela envoie 50 requêtes rapidement sur une seule connexion — pas une véritable attaque,
mais montre le comportement de gestion RST du serveur dans les logs.
# h2load is part of nghttp2-client
h2load -n 1000 -c 1 -m 50 https://localhost:8441 # vuln
h2load -n 1000 -c 1 -m 50 https://localhost:8442 # secure
Logs attendus pour les exemples :

Le conteneur sécurisé affichera des réinitialisations ou des refus de connexion lorsque la
limite de flux est atteinte ; le conteneur vulnérable acceptera les 50 sans problème.
7. Comparer les en-têtes des serveurs
# Vulnerable servers expose version info
curl -k -I https://localhost:8441 2>/dev/null | grep -i server
curl -k -I https://localhost:8443 2>/dev/null | grep -i server
# Secure servers hide or minimize version info
curl -k -I https://localhost:8442 2>/dev/null | grep -i server
curl -k -I https://localhost:8444 2>/dev/null | grep -i server
