Descriptions

Docker Registry before 2.6.2 in Docker Distribution does not properly restrict the amount of content accepted from a user, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via the manifest endpoint.

Docker Registry anterior a versiĆ³n 2.6.2 en Docker Distribution, no restringe apropiadamente la cantidad de contenido aceptado por un usuario, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegaciĆ³n de servicio (consumo de memoria) por medio un endpoint manifest.

It was found that docker-distribution did not properly restrict memory allocation size for a registry instance through the manifest endpoint. An attacker could send a specially crafted request that would exhaust the memory of the docker-distribution service.
