CVE-2021-32714: Integer Overflow in Chunked Transfer-Encoding

July 12, 2021 (updated September 7, 2021)

hyper’s HTTP server and client code had a flaw that could trigger an integer overflow when decoding chunk sizes that are too big. This allows possible data loss, or if combined with an upstream HTTP proxy that allows chunk sizes larger than hyper does, can result in “request smuggling” or “desync attacks”.
