CVE-2023-1580
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUncontrolled resource consumption in the logging feature in Devolutions Gateway 2023.1.1 and earlier allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by filling up the disk and render the system unusable.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDevolutions Gateway versions 2023.1.1 and earlier contain an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the logging subsystem. An attacker can exploit this by generating excessive log entries, causing disk storage to fill completely and rendering the gateway unavailable due to lack of disk space for normal operations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Devolutions Gateway versionCheck the product version through the installed software details, startup logs, or by querying the gateway service. Common locations: Program Files\Devolutions\Gateway\ or check the service properties.Affected if Version is 2023.1.1 or earlier (versions prior to 2023.1.2)
-
Locate log file directoryIdentify where Devolutions Gateway writes its log files. Check configuration files (typically in the Gateway config folder) for log path settings, or search for log files named gateway.log, dvls-gateway.log, or similar.Affected if Log directory cannot be determined or logs are being written to an unmonitored location
-
Inspect log rotation configurationExamine the Gateway configuration files for log rotation settings. Look for parameters controlling max file size, max file count, or retention period. Check if rotation is enabled at all.Affected if Log rotation is disabled, not configured, or set to values that allow unbounded growth
-
Measure current log directory sizeCalculate the total disk space consumed by the log directory. Use disk usage commands or file system tools to sum the sizes of all log files.Affected if Log directory is consuming significant disk space with no apparent limits in place
-
Check available disk spaceMonitor free disk space on the drive where logs are stored. Verify if disk space is being consumed rapidly or if free space is critically low.Affected if Disk space is filling up or approaching capacity due to log files
A defender is affected if their Devolutions Gateway version is 2023.1.1 or earlier AND log rotation/size limits are not properly configured, allowing unbounded log growth that can exhaust disk space.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2023.1.2
Implement log rotation, size limits, and retention policies to prevent unbounded disk consumption by log files. If a patched version is available, upgrade to a fixed release.
2023.1.2
- Download Devolutions Gateway version 2023.1.2 or later from the official Devolutions website
- Back up your current Gateway configuration and data
- Install the upgraded version (2023.1.2) following standard upgrade procedures
- Verify the logging configuration is working correctly and disk consumption is controlled
- Confirm the Gateway is operational after upgrade
