description

actix-http can allocate excessive memory and consume CPU while decoding compressed HTTP responses because decoded output is not bounded. Applications using awc or actix_http::encoding::Decoder are exposed when an untrusted upstream can supply compressed response bodies, potentially causing service disruption.

mitigation

Upgrade actix-http to >= 3.20.1; actix-web to >= 4.18.2 or later.

fixed in >= 3.20.1, >= 4.18.2
