Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the HTTP adapter native http/https transport path when sending streamed request bodies with maxRedirects set to 0. A remote attacker can send an oversized streamed upload to cause a denial of service.
The issue affects only stream request bodies; buffered request bodies and requests using default or nonzero redirect handling follow different enforcement paths.
