| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Nest, a framework for building scalable Node.js server-side applications. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending numerous small, valid JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) messages within a single TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) frame. This action causes the application's handleData() function to recurse excessively, leading to a call stack overflow and ultimately a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This can make the application unresponsive to legitimate users.
