A Vulnerability in Brotli Library Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

Publisher excerpt From CIS Advisories

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Brotli library that could allow for remote code execution. Brotli is a compression algorithm developed by Google and commonly used to compress web content before it is sent over HTTP. Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger memory corruption, disclose sensitive information, crash affected processes, or potentially achieve remote code execution (RCE). Web servers and applications that decompress Brotli data from untrusted sources, such as those running Node.js, may be affected.
