- CVSS_V3
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Description
### Impact undici's `fetch()` crashes the Node.js process when a malicious server returns a response with more than five content codings and closes the connection before sending the body. undici rejects such responses (a content-encoding limit), but it created the internal response stream before that check and returned without attaching an error listener or aborting the request. The early close then surfaces a content-length mismatch on that orphaned internal stream, which Node.js treats as an unhandled `error` and terminates the process. A remote, unauthenticated server can trigger this with a single response, even when the application correctly catches the `fetch()` rejection. undici 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x are affected. ### Patches Upgrade to `6.29.1`, `7.30.1`, or `8.12.2`. undici now validates the content-encoding chain before creating the internal body stream and aborts the response when the limit is exceeded, so no error can surface on an orphaned stream. ### Workarounds None.
