Vapor vulnerable to denial of service in HTTP Range Request of FileMiddleware

Description

Vapor is an HTTP web framework for Swift and middleware is a logic chain between the client and a Vapor route handler. FileMiddleware enables the serving of assets from the Public folder of a project to the client.

Vapor before 4.60.3 is vulnerable to denial of service due to an integer overflow when given invalid range headers while using FileMiddleware. This is patched in 4.60.3.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
