Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Apache Mesos up to 1.1.2/1.2.1/1.3.0/1.4.0-dev. Affected is an unknown functionality of the component libprocess. The manipulation as part of a HTTP Request leads to a data processing vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-19. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

When handling a libprocess message wrapped in an HTTP request, libprocess in Apache Mesos before 1.1.3, 1.2.x before 1.2.2, 1.3.x before 1.3.1, and 1.4.0-dev crashes if the request path is empty, because the parser assumes the request path always starts with '/'. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.
