Description Laura Pardo 2018-06-07 19:21:07 EDT
A flaw was found in Request >=2.2.6 <2.47.0 || >2.51.0 <=2.67.0. Affected versions of request will disclose local system memory to remote systems in certain circumstances. When a multipart request is made, and the type of body is number, then a buffer of that size will be allocated and sent to the remote server as the body.
