The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed via the "X-Reason" HTTP Header. A remote attacker can inject a malicious Erlang format string into the "X-Reason" HTTP Header that once expanded will consume the heap, resulting in the server crashing.
