Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Versions of `@fastify/busboy` from 3.1.0 and prior to 3.2.1 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service. The vendored streaming multipart search stores its default skip distance in a `Uint8Array(256)`. A multipart boundary of exactly 252 bytes makes the search needle 256 bytes, and the table entry wraps to zero, so a crafted request keeps the search in a CPU-bound loop and stalls the Node.js event loop. An unauthenticated client can trigger this with a single small request. Applications that use `@fastify/busboy` to parse multipart/form-data, directly or through `@fastify/multipart`, are affected. ### Patches Fixed in version 3.2.1. ### Workarounds Validate the multipart boundary before parsing and reject any boundary longer than the RFC 2046 limit of 70 characters (for example at a reverse proxy or in an onRequest hook). Upgrading to 3.2.1 removes the issue.
