Tungstenite allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
Packages

| crates.io | tungstenite | < 0.20.1 | 0.20.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
The Tungstenite crate through 0.20.0 for Rust allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (minutes of CPU consumption) via an excessive length of an HTTP header in a client handshake. The length affects both how many times a parse is attempted (e.g., thousands of times) and the average amount of data for each parse attempt (e.g., millions of bytes).
