CVE-2026-5440

Memory Exhaustion via Unbounded Content-Length

A memory exhaustion vulnerability exists in the HTTP server due to unbounded use of the `Content-Length` header.  The server allocates memory directly based on the attacker supplied header value without enforcing an upper limit. A crafted HTTP request containing an extremely large `Content-Length` value can trigger excessive memory allocation and server termination, even without sending a request body.
