What is CVE-2024-45797?

LibHTP, a security-focused parser for handling the HTTP protocol, prior to version 0.5.49, is susceptible to an issue where unbounded processing of HTTP request and response headers can cause significant consumption of CPU resources and memory. This may lead to severe performance degradation, potentially impacting system responsiveness and availability. The vulnerability has been addressed in version 0.5.49, where enhanced limitations on header processing were implemented to mitigate related risks.
