Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion') due to the handling of connections in NetFraming based services. An attacker can consume extra system resources by establishing connections that are not properly closed or aborted under certain conditions. This can occur when a client establishes a connection but sends no data, causing the service to wait indefinitely for the client to initiate the NetFraming session handshake. Additionally, if a client establishes a session but does not send any requests within the time configured in the binding ReceiveTimeout, the connection is not closed as part of the session being aborted.
