NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ffuf package and not the ffuf package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

ffuf is a fast web fuzzer written in Go. Prior to 2.2.0, ffuf allows a malicious target server to cause an out-of-memory denial of service because the response size guard in pkg/runner/simple.go checks only the compressed Content-Length while io.ReadAll reads gzip, brotli, deflate, transparently decompressed, or chunked response bodies without a decompressed-size bound. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.0.
