Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the decodeLength function. An attacker can exhaust the server's direct memory pool by sending continuous streams of digits without a terminating \r\n across multiple concurrent connections, which prevents legitimate connections from being processed.
Note:
This is only exploitable if an attacker is able to open multiple concurrent connections and distribute unbounded payloads among them.
