Vulnerability Summary

The Tungstenite crate prior to 0.20.1 for Rust allows remote malicious users to cause a denial of service (minutes of CPU consumption) via an excessive length of an HTTP header in a client handshake. The length affects both how many times a parse is attempted (e.g., thousands of times) and the average amount of data for each parse attempt (e.g., millions of bytes).
