Package : docker-registry
Version : 2.6.2~ds1-2+deb10u1
CVE ID : CVE-2023-2253
Debian Bug : 1035956

A flaw was found in the '/v2/_catalog' endpoint in
'distribution/distribution', which accepts a parameter to control
the maximum number of records returned (query string: 'n').
This vulnerability allows a malicious user to
submit an unreasonably large value for 'n',
causing the allocation of a massive string array,
possibly causing a denial of service through excessive use of memory.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
2.6.2~ds1-2+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your docker-registry packages.
