A denial-of-service issue was discovered in MediaWiki 1.37.x before 1.37.2. Rendering of w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Property%3AP31&namespace=1&invert=1 can take more than thirty seconds. There is a DDoS risk.

indy-node is the server portion of Hyperledger Indy, a distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity. ### Impact An attacker can max out the number of client connections allowed by the ledger that was deployed using guidance provided in the indy-node repository, leaving the ledger unable to be used for its intended purpose. The ledger content will not be impacted by the attack, and the ledger will resume servicing valid client requests after the attack. ### Mitigations This attack exploits the trade-off between resilience and availability. Any protection against abusive client connections will also prevent the network being accessed by certain legitimate users. As a result, validator nodes must tune their firewall rules to ensure the right trade-off for their network's expected users. The guidance previously provided enabled a low-cost DDoS attack.

The target has been under relentless DDoS attack, which ultimately set a new packets-per-second record for Europe.

By Waqas Threat actors managed to target more than 1,800 IP addresses of a single organization, and the DDoS attack was dispersed at six different locations. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Akamai Mitigated Record-Breaking DDoS Attack Against European Customer

<bytes::Bytes as axum_core::extract::FromRequest>::from_request would not, by default, set a limit for the size of the request body. That meant if a malicious peer would send a very large (or infinite) body your server might run out of memory and crash. This also applies to these extractors which used Bytes::from_request internally: axum::extract::Form axum::extract::Json String
