How to fix?

Upgrade mesos to version 1.4.2, 1.5.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. When parsing a malformed JSON payload, libprocess in Apache Mesos versions 1.4.0 to 1.5.0 might crash due to an uncaught exception. Parsing chunked HTTP requests with trailers can lead to a libprocess crash too because of the mistakenly planted assertion. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.
