Until a patch is available, consider restricting access to the VirtualServer protocol dispatcher or filtering malformed protobuf messages if possible.
Description
Perspective version 5.0.0 has a denial-of-service vulnerability in its VirtualServer protocol dispatcher. Unauthenticated remote attackers can crash the server by sending malformed or incomplete protobuf messages that cause the server process to abort. This occurs due to unwrap() calls on None values triggered by missing required fields in certain requests.
