CVE-2017-9790: Use After Free

September 29, 2017 (updated October 3, 2019)

When handling a libprocess message wrapped in an HTTP request, libprocess in Apache Mesos crashes if the request path is empty, because the parser assumes the request path always starts with /. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.
