Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to improper handling of incomplete data in the routing component when load balancer support is enabled. An attacker can exploit this by triggering incomplete or malformed connection data through the load-balanced interface, causing the server to stop accepting new connections and disrupting cluster availability.
