Upgrade thrift to version 0.25.0 or higher.
Overview
thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack with an associated code generation mechanism for point-to-point RPC.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception in the web server, which registers no error listener on a socket after it has been upgraded to a WebSocket connection, so an error emitted on that socket has no handler. An attacker can crash the process by opening a WebSocket connection and causing an error on it, such as by aborting the connection, since Node.js raises an unhandled error event as an exception rather than delivering it. This requires the application to use the Node.js bindings with the web server and WebSocket transport, and needs no privileges, user interaction, or non default configuration.
