    <title>GHSA-h2v8-394m-p7vv — Rustls: Brotli certificate decompression can allocate an attacker-controlled amount of memory up to 1 GiB before authen…</title>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> crates.io: rustls</p>
<p>### Summary</p>
<p>The built-in (but disabled by default) Brotli certificate decoder bounds the output buffer but accepts an input-selected history window. A header of five bytes can specify a 1 GiB window allocation. A peer can abort a process whose allocator cannot satisfy that request. A client must enable Brotli and connect to the peer; a server must enable Brotli and request a client certificate. Neither direction requires a trusted attacker certificate.</p>
<p>### Details</p>
<p>rustls calls `BrotliDecompress` which enables Brotli's large-window extension. rustls applies a limit to certificates, but this applies to the decompressed result, and not to any internal allocations the process requires.</p>
<p>### Impact</p>
<p>Client applications that enable the `brotli` feature will be vulnerable to malicious servers. Server applications that enable the `brotli` feature and enable client authentication will be vulnerable to malicious clients.</p>
<p>Potential for denial of service due to memory exhaustion from peers sending malicious Brotli-encoded certificates, for applications that enable Brotli decompression.</p>
