Docker Registry before 2.6.2 in Docker Distribution does not properly restrict the amount of content accepted from a user, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via the manifest endpoint.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

3.19% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 88% of all scored CVEs.
