It aims to simplify things by decoupling the protocol details from the I/O layer, such that users only need to implement code to stream data in and out of it without needing to know anything about how the protocol actually works. Think of it as a complete WebSocket system with pluggable I/O.\r\n\r\nSecurity Fix(es):\n\nwebsocket-driver is a WebSocket protocol handler with pluggable I/O. Prior to 0.8.1, draft versions of the WebSocket protocol in websocket-driver include a length header that allows an arbitrarily large integer to be encoded as bytes with the high bit set, and a server or client can send an indefinite sequence of 0x80 or higher bytes that the peer parses into an ever-growing Ruby integer. This can make a WebSocket connection consume an unbounded amount of memory and lead to the host process running out of memory. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1.(CVE-2026-54463)\n\n### Impact\n\nIf this library is used in tandem with the `permessage-deflate` extension, a\nWebSocket server or client can be made to accept messages that are larger than\nthe configured maximum message size. This is because this limit is checked\nagainst the message frames' length headers, which give the size of the\ncompressed data, not the size after decompression. This can lead to applications\naccepting larger messages than expected and exceeding their intended resource\nusage.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe issue has been patched in version 0.8.1, by checking the length of messages\nafter they are processed by incoming extensions. All users should upgrade to\nthis version.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nNo known workarounds exist.\n\n### Acknowledgements\n\nThis issue was discovered and reported by Pranjali Thakur, DepthFirst Security\nResearch Team.(CVE-2026-54464)\n\nwebsocket-driver is a WebSocket protocol handler with pluggable I/O. Prior to 0.8.1, when websocket-driver is used to implement a WebSocket server on top of a TCP server using WebSocket::Driver.server() or to complement a WebSocket client, a peer can make a single connection consume an unbounded amount of memory by sending an HTTP request or response with a never-ending list of headers. This can lead to the receiving process running out of memory. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1.(CVE-2026-54465)\n\nThere is insufficient input validation when websocket-driver-ruby handles WebSocket frames. An attacker may cause a denial of service (DoS) or unexpected behavior by constructing malicious packets.
