Descriptions

A flaw was found in all ipa versions 4.x.x through 4.8.0. When sending a very long password (>= 1,000,000 characters) to the server, the password hashing process could exhaust memory and CPU leading to a denial of service and the website becoming unresponsive. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Se encontró un fallo en todas las versiones de ipa 4.x.x hasta 4.8.0. Cuando se envía una contraseña muy larga al servidor (mayores o iguales a 1,000,000 caracteres), el proceso de hashing de contraseña podría agotar la memoria y la CPU, conllevando a una denegación de servicio y el sitio web dejaría de responder. La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la disponibilidad del sistema.
