Technical details
The vulnerability combines two issues: the PNG decoder accepts unlimited image dimensions without validation, causing unbounded memory allocation during decompression, and the nonce space is only 65,537 values, making brute-force trivial. An unauthenticated attacker on the network can POST a crafted PNG to the HTTP listener endpoint, triggering decompression of a multi-gigabyte image that exhausts system RAM, resulting in denial of service to the entire Sliver server.
