Discourse DoS via SvgSprite cache
Summary
Discourse DoS via SvgSprite cache
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to version 3.1.1 of the stable branch and version 3.2.0.beta1 of the beta and tests-passed branches, a malicious admin could create extremely large icons sprites, which would then be cached in each server process. This may cause server processes to be killed and lead to downtime. The issue is patched in version 3.1.1 of the stable branch and version 3.2.0.beta1 of the beta and tests-passed branches. This is only a concern for multisite installations. No action is required when the admins are trusted.
