CVE-2024-22019

nodejs: reading unprocessed HTTP request with unbounded chunk extension allows DoS attacks

Published Feb 20, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 3.2% KEV · Not listed
Description
A vulnerability in Node.js HTTP servers allows an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request with chunked encoding, leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service (DoS). The server reads an unbounded number of bytes from a single connection, exploiting the lack of limitations on chunk extension bytes. The issue can cause CPU and network bandwidth exhaustion, bypassing standard safeguards like timeouts and body size limits.
