Mozilla Firefox 63.0.1 – Denial of Service (PoC)
Mozilla Firefox is vulnerable to Denial of Service when it tries to process the chunked data. When Transfer-Encoding header is used, data is supposed to be sent in chunks form. When all the chunks are transferred, a zero length chunk is sent to indicate the end of the stream. However, if data is sent after the zero length chunk, Firefox is unable to understand it and crashes.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the Transfer-Encoding header is used correctly and that no data is sent after the zero length chunk.
