Summary
CVE-2023-37279 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Faktory, a language-agnostic persistent background job server, prior to version 1.8.0. Malicious URL query parameters with a large value for the `days` parameter can cause the Faktory web dashboard to read an excessive amount of memory, leading to a server crash. The issue arises due to the backend's lack of validation on the `days` parameter value. The vulnerability has been resolved in version 1.8.0 with the necessary checks and improvements to prevent such memory-consuming queries.
