CVE-2024-28854

Summary

CVE-2024-28854 is a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability affecting the TlsListener module in the rust lang wrapper tls-listener. With the default configuration, an attacker can open up to 6.4 new connections per second, each sending no data, causing significant resource usage and potential service disruption. This issue makes publicly accessible services utilizing the default configuration of tls-listener susceptible to a slow-loris attack in versions prior to 0.10.0. To mitigate this risk, users are advised to upgrade to the latest version or manually configure the `max_handshakes` parameter with a large value.
