Description
Unexpected Status Code or Return Value vulnerability in ninenines gun (gun_http module) allows a malicious HTTP server to force the client into raw protocol mode via an unsolicited 101 Switching Protocols response.
In gun_http:handle_inform/8, when a 101 Switching Protocols response is received over HTTP/1.1, the function verifies only that the Upgrade header is syntactically valid and that the stream reference is a plain reference(). It does not check whether the client ever sent an Upgrade or Connection: upgrade header on the corresponding request. Because this check is absent, any 101 response (solicited or not) causes gun to dispatch a gun_upgrade message to the caller and transition the entire connection to raw protocol mode.
A malicious or compromised HTTP server can send an unsolicited 101 response to any HTTP/1.1 request, causing the gun client to abandon HTTP framing for that connection. Once in raw mode, gun_raw applies no flow control (flow=infinity) and re-arms socket active mode after every received packet, so the server can flood the client with arbitrary bytes. These are forwarded as unbounded gun_data messages to the owner process, exhausting its mailbox and BEAM memory, ultimately crashing the VM.
This issue affects gun: from 2.0.0 before 2.4.0.

Title: gun de ninenines, Description: Una vulnerabilidad de código de estado o valor de retorno inesperado en ninenines gun (módulo gun_http) permite a un servidor HTTP malicioso forzar al cliente a un modo de protocolo sin procesar a través de una respuesta 101 Switching Protocols no solicitada.
En gun_http:handle_inform/8, cuando se recibe una respuesta 101 Switching Protocols sobre HTTP/1.1, la función verifica solo que el encabezado Upgrade es sintácticamente válido y que la referencia de flujo es una referencia simple(). No verifica si el cliente alguna vez envió un encabezado Upgrade o Connection: upgrade en la solicitud correspondiente. Debido a que esta verificación está ausente, cualquier respuesta 101 (solicitada o no) hace que gun envíe un mensaje gun_upgrade al llamador y transicione toda la conexión a modo de protocolo sin procesar.
Un servidor HTTP malicioso o comprometido puede enviar una respuesta 101 no solicitada a cualquier solicitud HTTP/1.1, haciendo que el cliente gun abandone el encuadre HTTP para esa conexión. Una vez en modo sin procesar, gun_raw no aplica control de flujo (flow=infinity) y rearma el modo activo del socket después de cada paquete recibido, por lo que el servidor puede inundar al cliente con bytes arbitrarios. Estos se reenvían como mensajes gun_data ilimitados al proceso propietario, agotando su buzón y la memoria BEAM, lo que finalmente provoca el bloqueo de la VM.
Este problema afecta a gun: desde 2.0.0 antes de 2.4.0.
