**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Envoy version 1.12.0 **Description** The issue is related to a remote denial of service caused by resource loops. This can be triggered by a single idle TCP connection, which can keep a worker thread in an infinite busy loop when `continue on listener filters timeout` is used. The vulnerability can be exploited by providing specific input, allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service. **Recommendations** For Envoy version 1.12.0, consider disabling the use of `continue on listener filters timeout` to prevent the worker thread from entering an infinite busy loop as a temporary workaround. Restrict access to the affected module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
