CVE-2021-32714 Information

Description

hyper is an HTTP library for Rust. In versions prior to 0.14.10 hyper’s HTTP server and client code had a flaw that could trigger an integer overflow when decoding chunk sizes that are too big. This allows possible data loss or if combined with an upstream HTTP proxy that allows chunk sizes larger than hyper does can result in equest smuggling\ or \desync attacks.\ The vulnerability is patched in version 0.14.10. Two possible workarounds exist. One may reject requests manually that contain a Transfer-Encoding header or ensure any upstream proxy rejects Transfer-Encoding chunk sizes greater than what fits in 64-bit unsigned integers.
