Description

A flaw was found in undici. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a specially crafted compressed WebSocket payload. When this payload exceeds the 128 MiB decompressed-payload limit and contains a malformed DEFLATE byte, it causes an unhandled error in the internal zlib inflate stream. This unhandled error leads to the termination of the entire Node.js process, making the service unavailable.
