Until a fix is available, consider implementing external protections such as network-level rate limiting or connection timeouts to mitigate resource exhaustion risks.

Description

CVE-2026-103471 is a high-severity vulnerability in Corvusoft restbed up to version 5.0.0 where HTTP request headers are buffered without a maximum size limit. This allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory by opening TCP connections and streaming bytes indefinitely without sending the header delimiter, causing unbounded heap memory allocation until the server process is terminated.
