AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, consider limiting the number of concurrent POST, PUT, or DELETE requests or implementing network-level protections to mitigate potential memory exhaustion.

Description

Kore versions prior to 4.3.0 have an integer underflow vulnerability in the handling of HTTP request bodies. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass the http_body_max limit by sending more body bytes than declared. By sending oversized first segments across many concurrent POST, PUT, or DELETE requests, attackers can cause the content_length value to wrap, leading to unbounded buffer growth and exhaustion of worker memory.
