The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JSON input that uses large numbers (numbers such as 1e20000000) to the application and perform a denial of service attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".
