ETK-2026-3725Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.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
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
