A flaw was found in Quarkus REST. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted multipart/form-data request with an excessively large header section. This unbounded accumulation of MIME part-header bytes can exhaust the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) heap memory, leading to an OutOfMemoryError. The primary consequence is a denial of service, causing the application to crash.
