Faster CVE Resolution: Leveraging CloudTruth for Immediate Config Fixes

Why it matters: Many Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) can be resolved quickly with a simple configuration change without waiting for a software update. This reduces downtime and protects systems faster. But how can you quickly deploy a config change to every component? Meet CloudTruth.

The problem: CVEs often expose systems to attacks like denial of service (DoS), data breaches, or stability issues. A traditional approach involves applying software patches, which can take time and disrupt operations.

• In many cases, configuration settings cause vulnerabilities. A tweak to a critical setting can fix the issue without deploying new software.
  

The solution: CloudTruth makes it easy to distribute critical configuration changes across your infrastructure.

For example, CVE-2024-45506: "Endless loop in HTTP/2 with zero-copy forwarding in HAProxy" can be remediated with a configuration change by adding these config statements to the haproxy.cfg file:

global

  tune.h2.zero-copy-fwd-send off

With CloudTruth, you can:

• Centrally manage and update your configuration files.
• Automatically distribute changes to all HAProxy instances.
• Ensure consistency and avoid configuration drift.

Why it works: CloudTruth allows teams to implement security fixes immediately without waiting for the next software update cycle. Plus, it maintains a full audit trail of when and where changes were made, ensuring compliance and transparency.
