NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cpp-httplib package and not the cpp-httplib package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.
cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. In version 0.21.0, when many http headers fields are passed in, the library does not limit the number of headers, and the memory associated with the headers will not be released when the connection is disconnected. This leads to potential exhaustion of system memory and results in a server crash or unresponsiveness. Version 0.22.0 contains a patch for the issue.
