Description
The issue allows an attacker to perform a denial of service attack consisting of memory exhaustion on the host system due to improper handling of HTTP methods. This can also lead to other unexpected behaviors such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by uploading malicious files. Users are advised to upgrade to prevent memory exhaustion and potential XSS attacks.
