CVE-2021-3912: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

November 10, 2021 (updated February 9, 2023)

OctoRPKI tries to load the entire contents of a repository in memory, and in the case of a GZIP bomb, unzip it in memory, making it possible to create a repository that makes OctoRPKI run out of memory (and thus crash).
