    Tungstenite allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service

    CVE-2023-43669 · GHSA-9mcr-873m-xcxp

    Affected
    • crates.io tungstenite <= 0.20.0
    Fixed in
    0.20.1· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    The Tungstenite crate through 0.20.0 for Rust allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (minutes of CPU consumption) via an excessive length of an HTTP header in a client handshake. The length affects both how many times a parse is attempted (e.g., thousands of times) and the average amount of data for each parse attempt (e.g., millions of bytes).

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.20.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
