Overview

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.HttpSys is an ASP.NET Core HTTP server that uses the Windows HTTP Server API.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime when parsing malformed chunked requests that contain conflicting content-length headers, which retains request and connection resources. An attacker can exhaust server resources by sending such requests repeatedly. Exposure is limited to applications hosted on the HttpSys server on Windows.
