Tungstenite allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service

Details
Package tungstenite
Version 0.17.3
URL snapview/tungstenite-rs#376
Date 2023-09-25
Patched versions >=0.20.1

The Tungstenite crate through 0.20.0 for Rust allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (minutes of CPU consumption) via an excessive length of an
HTTP header in a client handshake. The length affects both how many times a parse
is attempted (e.g., thousands of times) and the average amount of data for each
parse attempt (e.g., millions of bytes).

See advisory page for additional details.

While the version 0.20.1 (which is patched) is present in Cargo.lock it's not even used in the actual code.
