CVE-2025-55181 (GCVE-0-2025-55181)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-12-02 22:13 – Updated: 2025-12-03 00:33
VLAI
Summary
Sending an HTTP request/response body with greater than 2^31 bytes triggers an infinite loop in proxygen::coro::HTTPQuicCoroSession which blocks the backing event loop and unconditionally appends data to a std::vector per-loop iteration. This issue leads to unbounded memory growth and eventually causes the process to run out of memory.
