HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise 1.12.0 and newer are vulnerable to a denial of service through memory exhaustion of the host when handling large unauthenticated and authenticated HTTP requests from a client.

Fixed in Vault 1.15.4, 1.14.8, 1.13.12.
HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise inbound client requests triggering a policy check can lead to an unbounded consumption of memory. A large number of these requests may lead to denial-of-service. Fixed in Vault 1.15.2, 1.14.6, and 1.13.10.
A Vault Enterprise Sentinel Role Governing Policy created by an operator to restrict access to resources in one namespace can be applied to requests outside in another non-descendant namespace, potentially resulting in denial of service. Fixed in Vault Enterprise 1.15.0, 1.14.4, 1.13.8.
