Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
GHSA-2p48-j3qc-rx9f affects rclone versions 1.75.0 up to but not including 1.75.1, specifically the serve s3 streamed multipart mode. A network client can send an UploadPart request declaring a large Content-Length and send no body, causing the server to reserve memory proportional to that header value and potentially exhaust process or host memory. Anonymous access is possible when no auth_key is set; otherwise a valid S3 credential is needed. Upgrade to rclone 1.75.1, which contains the fix.
