Summary

DoS due to excessively large websocket message in ws

Details

Affected versions of ws do not appropriately limit the size of incoming websocket payloads, which may result in a denial of service condition when the node process crashes after receiving a large payload.

Recommendation

Update to version 1.1.1 or later. Alternatively, set the maxpayload option for the ws server to a value smaller than 256MB.
