GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2026-19204 (GCVE-0-2026-19204)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-07 10:19 – Updated: 2026-09-07 10:19
VLAI
Summary
A client may send a WebSocket frame with an unknown opcode and a very large declared payload length, causing Jetty to attempt a large memory allocation and potentially exhaust the JVM heap. This occurs when auto-fragmentation is enabled, as unknown opcodes bypass the normal maximum frame size handling and payload allocation occurs before the opcode is validated.
CWE
  • CWE-770 - Allocation of resources without limits or throttling
  • CWE-789 - Memory allocation with excessive size value
