Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, The shared WebSocket decoder permits unbounded message buffering because defragmentation accumulates fragments without a limit and FrameTranscoder accepts declared lengths up to Int.MaxValue. A remote client that completes a WebSocket handshake against an http4s-blaze-server or http4s-ember-server endpoint can exhaust server memory with oversized frames or fragmented messages. The patched decoder applies a configurable 64 MiB default limit to individual frames and defragmented messages through EmberServerBuilder.withMaxWebSocketMessageSize. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.
AnalysisAI
Unbounded WebSocket message buffering in http4s lets any remote client that completes a WebSocket handshake against an http4s-blaze-server or http4s-ember-server endpoint exhaust server memory, causing a denial of service. The shared decoder accepts declared frame lengths up to Int.MaxValue and defragments continuation frames without any size limit, so oversized frames or a long stream of fragments are accumulated in memory until the JVM heap is exhausted. …
