File Descriptor Leak Can Cause DoS Vulnerability in hapi
Quick fix
GHSA-cqr7-78pj-3g7j — hapi: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install hapi@2.2.0Details
Versions 2.0.x and 2.1.x of hapi are vulnerable to a denial of service attack via a file descriptor leak.
When triggered repeatedly, this leak will cause the server to run out of file descriptors and the node process to die. The effort required to take down a server depends on the process file descriptor limit. No other side effects or exploits have been identified.
## Recommendation
- Please upgrade to version 2.2.x or above as soon as possible.
