Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the process of reading attachments from a remote image entirely into memory without checking the size of the attachment first. An attacker can cause a denial of service of the host machine by including a large attachment in a remote image. If the attachment's size exceeds the available memory of the machine, it will lead to a system-wide denial of service. This vulnerability can escalate from a compromised registry to the user, impacting not only the availability of the service but also potentially leading to data loss in other services relying on available memory, such as databases.
