A flaw was found in "cockpit-ws". This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a specially crafted request. When the "WebService.UrlRoot" is configured and a request is made to the exact URL-root prefix without a trailing slash, "cockpit-ws" can terminate unexpectedly. This issue leads to the unavailability of the Cockpit web service.
