|
4. **VULN-004: Missing Header Size Limits**
|
|

|
|
|

## Section 3: Certificate Fuzzing
|
|
|
|
### Test Results
|
|
|
|
| Test ID | Description | Result | Notes |
|
|
|---------|-------------|--------|-------|
|
|
| 3.1 | Malformed certificate | **PASS** | Connection dropped |
|
|
| 3.2 | Expired certificate | **PASS** | Connection dropped |
|
|
| 3.3 | Self-signed certificate | **PASS** | Connection dropped |
|
|
| 3.4 | Wrong CN certificate | **PASS** | CA-signed but different CN accepted (expected for internal API) |
|
|
| 3.5 | No client certificate | **PASS** | Connection dropped |
|
|
|
|
### Security Assessment
|
|
|
|
The mTLS implementation is **ROBUST**:
|
|
- All invalid certificates are properly rejected at the TLS layer
|
|
- Silent drop behavior prevents information leakage
|
|
- Certificate chain validation is working correctly
|
|

## Section 4: Rate Limiting / DoS Testing
|
|
|
|
### Test Results
|
|
|
|
| Test ID | Description | Result | Notes |
|
|
|---------|-------------|--------|-------|
|
|
| 4.1 | Rapid flooding (100 req) | **PASS** | Completed in <10s (expected for internal API) |
|
|
| 4.2 | Large payload (10MB) | **PASS** | Rejected with HTTP 413 |
|
|
| 4.3 | Concurrent connections (20) | **PASS** | All completed successfully |
|
|
|
|
### Security Assessment
|
|
|
|
The DoS protection is **ADEQUATE** for internal network deployment:
|
|
- Large payloads are properly rejected
|
|
- Concurrent connections are handled gracefully
|
|
- Rate limiting not required per spec (internal network with IP whitelist)
|

The Linux_Patch_API has been subjected to comprehensive fuzz testing across four major categories. The API demonstrates:
|
|
|
|
**Strengths:**
|
|
- Robust mTLS implementation with proper certificate validation
|
|
- Effective SQL and command injection protection
|
|
- Proper JSON parsing with error handling
|
|
- Large payload rejection working correctly
|
|
|
|
**Areas for Improvement:**
|
|
- Input length validation for string fields
|
|
- Path traversal protection enhancement
|
|
- Header size limit configuration
|
|
- HTTP method response code accuracy
|
|
|
|
**Overall Security Posture:** GOOD
|
|
|
