Description

A flaw was found in undici. A remote attacker, by controlling a server, could exploit a vulnerability in undici's retry handler. When a server sends an incomplete response body and then a non-retryable status, the original response body can become orphaned and never properly closed. This leads to pending promises and streams accumulating, which can exhaust application resources and result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
