How to fix?

Upgrade Wolfi prism to version 5.15.11-r3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream prism package and not the prism package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

Impact: The undici WebSocket client enforces maxPayloadSize on the cumulative byte count of fragments in a message but does not enforce a limit on the number of fragments. A malicious WebSocket server can stream many small or empty continuation frames that each pass per-frame and cumulative-size validation, collectively causing unbounded memory growth in the client process. The result is memory exhaustion and a denial of service.

Affected applications are those using the undici WebSocket client (new WebSocket(...)) or the WebSocketStream API that can be induced to connect to an attacker-controlled or compromised WebSocket endpoint.

All releases starting at undici 6.17.0 are affected.

Patches: Upgrade to undici >= 6.26.0, >= 7.28.0, or >= 8.5.0. Workarounds: No workaround is available. The fix must be applied through an upgrade.
