Descriptions
Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Denial of Service with large HTTP headers: By using a combination of many requests with maximum sized headers (almost 80 KB per connection), and carefully timed completion of the headers, it is possible to cause the HTTP server to abort from heap allocation failure. Attack potential is mitigated by the use of a load balancer or other proxy layer.
Node.js: Todas las versiones anteriores a la 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 y 11.3.0: Denegación de servicio (DoS) con cabeceras HTTP grandes. Mediante la combinación de muchas peticiones con cabeceras de tamaño máximo (casi 80 KB por conexión) y al terminar a su debido tiempo las cabeceras, es posible provocar que el servidor HTTP aborte el fallo de asignación de memoria dinámica (heap). El potencial del ataque se ve mitigado por el uso de un balance de carga u otra capa del proxy.
