CVE-2013-4450: Input Validation
First published: Mon Oct 21 2013(Updated: )
The HTTP server in Node.js 0.10.x before 0.10.21 and 0.8.x before 0.8.26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) by sending a large number of pipelined requests without reading the response.
