cowlib: Cowlib: Denial of Service due to unbounded HPACK/QPACK prefixed-integer decoding

A flaw was found in cowlib, an HTTP parser. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 frames containing oversized HPACK or QPACK prefixed integers. This unbounded decoding process leads to excessive memory allocation and...

CVE-2026-59248

CVE-2026-59248 affects cowlib (2.0.0–2.19.0). The HPACK/QPACK dec_big_int/3 decoder has no limit on continuation octets or resulting bit width, causing unbounded memory allocation during decoding and potential memory exhaustion DoS when handling untrusted HTTP/2/3 peers. A single maximal HPACK in...
