Improper Input Validation in cookie

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Aug 25, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jun 13, 2023

Package

cargo cookie (Rust)

Affected versions

< 0.7.6

Patched versions

0.7.6

Description

Affected versions of this crate use the time crate and the method Duration::seconds to parse the Max-Age duration cookie setting. This method will panic if the value is greater than 2^64/1000 and less than or equal to 2^64, which can result in denial of service for a client or server.

This flaw was corrected by explicitly checking for the Max-Age being in this integer range and clamping the value to the maximum duration value.
