Unknown · Elixir-Mint · CVE-2026-82728
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
elixir-mint versions 0.1.0 through 1.9.9
**Description**
A remote HTTP server can cause a denial of service by exhausting memory on the client host. This occurs because two HTTP/1 response-parser states accumulate server data without limits. Specifically, the `decode status line/4` function stores unconsumed data in `conn.buffer` when the status line is incomplete, and the `decode body/5` function does the same for an unterminated chunk-extension line. Both functions wait for a CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) sequence that a malicious server may never send, causing `conn.buffer` to be prepended to every subsequent socket message. While a budget exists via `:max header list size`, it only applies to `decode headers/5` and `decode trailer headers/4`, leaving these two states unprotected. An attacker can stream bytes indefinitely until the BEAM node is terminated by the operating system's out-of-memory handler. In the case of chunk-extensions, the attack occurs after a valid status line and header section, potentially bypassing intermediaries that only inspect headers.
**Recommendations**
Update elixir-mint to version 1.10.0 or later.
