CVE-2021-43298 Description

The code that performs password matching when using \'Basic\' HTTP authentication does not use a constant-time memcmp and has no rate-limiting. This means that an unauthenticated network attacker can brute-force the HTTP basic password, byte-by-byte, by recording the webserver\'s response time until the unauthorized (401) response.
