Asymmetric denial of service In org.apache.mesos:mesos

Description

Crash when decoding malformed HTTP requests or malformed JSON payload When parsing a malformed JSON payload, libprocess in Apache Mesos versions 1.4.0 to 1.5.0 might crash due to an uncaught exception. Parsing chunked HTTP requests with trailers can lead to a libprocess crash too because of the mistakenly planted assertion. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
