1 security issue in forky high

There is 1 open security issue in forky.

1 important issue:
  • CVE-2026-87776: compression is a Node.js and Express compression middleware. In versions before 1.8.2, when a client aborts the connection while a compressed response is still being sent, the zlib stream created to compress that response is never destroyed, so each aborted compressed response leaks its native zlib memory. A remote unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly open requests and disconnect early, exhausting the available memory and crashing the server. All applications using compression are affected. The issue is fixed in compression 1.8.2, and users should upgrade to 1.8.2 or later.

In versions before 1.8.2, when a client aborts the connection while a compressed response is still being sent, the zlib stream created to compress that response is never destroyed, so each aborted compressed response leaks its native zlib memory.

The issue is fixed in compression 1.8.2, and users should upgrade to 1.8.2 or later.

testing migrations
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for node-compression (1.8.1-1 to 1.8.2+~1.8.1-1): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for node-compression/1.8.2+~1.8.1-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Test triggered, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 3 of 5 days old
    • Additional info (not blocking):
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/n/node-compression.html
    • ∙ ∙ Reproduced on amd64 - info
    • ∙ ∙ Reproduced on arm64 - info
