Description

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust<br /> server memory via the GetEndpoints Discovery Service in open62541. The<br /> endpointUrl field of GetEndpointsRequest is not validated for length. An<br /> attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~4.09 GB via the UInt32<br /> length field) delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the<br /> final chunk. The server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the<br /> SecureChannel times out. The attack is<br /> pre-session and bypasses all encryption configurations.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.
