CVE-2024-28854 Information

Description

tls-listener is a rust lang wrapper around a connection listener to support TLS. With the default configuration of tls-listener a malicious user can open 6.4 TcpStreams a second sending 0 bytes and can trigger a DoS. The default configuration options make any public service using TlsListener::new() vulnerable to a slow-loris DoS attack. This impacts any publicly accessible service using the default configuration of tls-listener in versions prior to 0.10.0. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may mitigate this by passing a large value such as usize::MAX as the parameter to Builder::max_handshakes.
