The ws is an open-source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. A request with a number of headers exceeding the "server.maxHeadersCount" threshold could be used to crash a ws server. In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the "--max-http-header-size=size" and/or the "maxHeaderSize" options so that no more headers than the "server.maxHeadersCount" limit can be sent. 2. Set "server.maxHeadersCount" to "0" so that no limit is applied. This issue affects the package ws versions 2.1.0 through 5.2.3, 6.0.0 through 6.2.2, 7.0.0 through 7.5.9, and 8.0.0 through 8.17.0.
