Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-07-28 19:26 - Updated: 2026-07-28 22:49A flaw was found in cowlib, an HTTP parser. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 frames containing oversized HPACK or QPACK prefixed integers. This unbounded decoding process leads to excessive memory allocation and garbage collection, ultimately causing memory exhaustion and a denial of service (DoS) on the vulnerable server or client.

A flaw was found in Cowboy. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending multiple HTTP/1.1 header lines with the same name. This bypasses the `max_headers` limit, causing the connection process memory to grow uncontrollably. This can lead to memory exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition in the Erlang Virtual Machine (VM).
