How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.24 py3-daphne to version 4.2.3-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-daphne package and not the py3-daphne package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

daphne before 4.2.2 did not pass maxFramePayloadSize or maxMessagePayloadSize to Autobahn's WebSocketServerFactory. Because Autobahn defaults both values to 0 (unlimited), an unauthenticated remote attacker could send arbitrarily large WebSocket messages or frames, causing excessive memory consumption and a denial of service.
