Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Over-read due to a bug that causes a buffer overread during HTTP message processing. An attacker can cause a denial of service attack by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. This is only exploitable if the server is running a version of the software that contains the bug.
