CVE-2023-37279 – Faktory Web Dashboard can lead to denial of service(DOS) via malicious user input

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-37279

Faktory is a language-agnostic persistent background job server. Prior to version 1.8.0, the Faktory web dashboard can suffer from denial of service by a crafted malicious url query param `days`. The vulnerability is related to how the backend reads the `days` URL query parameter in the Faktory web dashboard. The value is used directly without any checks to create a string slice. If a very large value is provided, the backend server ends up using a significant amount of memory and causing it to crash. • https://github.com/contribsys/faktory/security/advisories/GHSA-x4hh-vjm7-g2jv • CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling CWE-789: Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value •
