Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
There is a potential vulnerability in Traefik managing requests with `Content-length` and no `body` .
Sending a `GET` request to any Traefik endpoint with the `Content-length` request header results in an indefinite hang with the default configuration. This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to induce a denial of service.
