Vulnerability from github
Impact
A specially crafted HTTP request can trigger an uncaught exception on the Engine.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process.
``` events.js:292 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^
Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (internal/stream_base_commons.js:209:20) Emitted 'error' event on Socket instance at: at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:106:8) at emitErrorCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:74:3) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:80:21) { errno: -104, code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' } ```
This impacts all the users of the engine.io
package, including those who uses depending packages like socket.io
.
