  • OpenBSD errata, Jan 31, 2017

    From Bob Beck@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 2 15:40:02 2017
    An issue has been identified whereby httpd(8) could be subject to a denial
    of service attack. Repeated crafted requests could be made from a client
    using file-range requests, making the server consume excessive amounts of memory.

    This issue has been fixed in current. For 5.9 and 6.0 the following errata
    will disable range header processing in httpd(8) to prevent the problem.

    Thanks to Pierre Kim <[email protected]> for reporting
    the issue.
