Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in the read_websocket function when processing compressed WebSocket frames with permessage-deflate negotiation. An attacker can corrupt memory, potentially leading to denial of service or code execution, by sending crafted WebSocket frames with the RSV1 bit set. This is only exploitable if both USE_ZLIB and MG_EXPERIMENTAL_INTERFACES are defined.
