Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow via the content-type processing when handling large HTTP content types. An attacker can cause a crash of the process by sending specially crafted HTTP requests with excessively large content-type headers.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by limiting stream.reassembly.depth to less than half the stack size or by increasing the process stack size.
