Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALASNGINX1-2023-002
Advisory Release Date: 2023-08-07 06:17 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-09-25 22:09 Pacific
ALPACA is an application layer protocol content confusion attack, exploiting TLS servers implementing different protocols but using compatible certificates, such as multi-domain or wildcard certificates. A MiTM attacker having access to victim's traffic at the TCP/IP layer can redirect traffic from one subdomain to another, resulting in a valid TLS session. This breaks the authentication of TLS and cross-protocol attacks may be possible where the behavior of one protocol service may compromise the other at the application layer. (CVE-2021-3618)
