    Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

    brotli is a Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to insufficient protection against decompression brotli bombs. An attacker can cause excessive memory consumption and crash the client by sending specially crafted compressed data with extremely high compression ratios.

    Buffer Overflow

    brotli is a Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. An attacker could control the input length of a "one-shot" decompression request to a script can trigger a crash, which happens when copying over chunks of data larger than 2 GiB.

    How to fix Buffer Overflow?

    Upgrade brotli to version 1.0.8 or higher.
