CVE-2020-8927 log
| Source |
|
| Severity | Medium |
| Remote | Yes |
| Type | Denial of service |
| Description | A buffer overflow exists in the Brotli library < 1.0.8, where an attacker controlling the input length of a "one-shot" decompression request to a script can trigger a crash, which happens when copying over chunks of data larger than 2 GiB. It is recommended to update your Brotli library to 1.0.8 or later. If one cannot update, we recommend to use the "streaming" API as opposed to the "one-shot" API, and impose chunk size limits. |
