CVE-2017-9790 Information

Description

When handling a libprocess message wrapped in an HTTP request libprocess in Apache Mesos before 1.1.3 1.2.x before 1.2.2 1.3.x before 1.3.1 and 1.4.0-dev crashes if the request path is empty because the parser assumes the request path always starts with ‘/’. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.
