Summary

Gitea from 1.16.0 before 1.27.3 has an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in its OneDev migration downloader. The downloader reads the entire remote version response into memory without a size limit and uses a client without a timeout. An authenticated user who can start a repository migration can point it at an attacker-controlled OneDev-compatible server that returns an oversized or never-ending response, consuming memory and holding migration workers and impairing availability.

Description from the CNA

Gitea's OneDev migration downloader reads the entire remote version response into memory without a size limit and uses a client without a timeout. An authenticated user who can start a repository migration can direct it to an attacker-controlled OneDev-compatible server returning an oversized or never-ending response. This can consume memory and hold migration workers, impairing service availability.
