CVE-2017-16129 (GCVE-0-2017-16129)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-06-07 02:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 19:04
VLAI?
Summary
The HTTP client module superagent is vulnerable to ZIP bomb attacks. In a ZIP bomb attack, the HTTP server replies with a compressed response that becomes several magnitudes larger once uncompressed. If a client does not take special care when processing such responses, it may result in excessive CPU and/or memory consumption. An attacker might exploit such a weakness for a DoS attack. To exploit this the attacker must control the location (URL) that superagent makes a request to.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
