The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when user-supplied input within the `Headers.set()` and `Headers.append()` methods. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
