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...
