Description Vladimir Vasilev 2026-09-14 07:24:20 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

The webserver in UnrealIRCd 6.0.5 through 6.2.6 before 6.2.7 does not limit the number of HTTP request headers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and unresponsive server) via an HTTP request with an unlimited number of headers, if a websocket or JSON-RPC listener is enabled (disabled by default).
