CVE-2021-3909

7.5 highEPSS 1.6%

High (7.5). EPSS 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/cloudflare/cfrpki 1.4.0.

OctoRPKI does not limit the length of a connection, allowing for a slowloris DOS attack to take place which makes OctoRPKI wait forever. Specifically, the repository that OctoRPKI sends HTTP requests to will keep the connection open for a day before a response is returned, but does keep drip feeding new bytes to keep the connection alive.
