ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. A request
with a number of headers exceeding theserver.maxHeadersCount threshold
could be used to crash a ws server. The vulnerability was fixed in
[email protected] (e55e510) and backported to [email protected] (22c2876), [email protected]
(eeb76d3), and [email protected] (4abd8f6). In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue
can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed
length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size and/or
the maxHeaderSize options so that no more headers than the
server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent. 2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to
0 so that no limit is applied.
