GHSA-w7hm-hmxv-pvhf: HPACK decoder panics on invalid input
Due to insufficient checking of input data, decoding certain data sequences can lead to Decoder::decode panicking rather than returning an error.
Example code that triggers this vulnerability looks like this:
use hpack::Decoder;
pub fn main() {
let input = &[0x3f];
let mut decoder = Decoder::new();
let _ = decoder.decode(input);
}
hpack is unmaintained. A crate with the panics fixed has been published as hpack-patched.
Also consider using fluke-hpack or httlib-huffman as an alternative.
