PYSEC-2026-1439

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-07-07 14:34 - Updated: 2026-07-07 17:24

Details

In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0.2, a vulnerability exists where uploading and repeatedly parsing a large GZIP file can cause a denial of service. The server becomes unresponsive due to memory exhaustion and a large number of concurrent slow-running jobs. This issue arises from the improper handling of highly compressed data, leading to significant data amplification.

Severity

7.5 (High)
