AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, users should consider deploying additional protections at the proxy or firewall level to detect and block suspicious Transfer-Encoding headers. Monitoring for anomalous HTTP request patterns related to Transfer-Encoding may help mitigate exploitation attempts.

Description

The rust-tiny-http library through version 0.12.0 contains an HTTP request smuggling vulnerability. This flaw allows remote attackers to desynchronize request framing by sending a Transfer-Encoding header with any value, including non-chunked codings. The library improperly applies chunk-decoding and discards Content-Length, leading to discrepancies with front-end proxies that correctly implement Transfer-Encoding parsing. This can enable request smuggling and cause failed body reads that tie up connections and consume worker threads without signaling errors to clients.
