NATS Server is a high-performance server for NATS.io, the cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to 2.12.8 and 2.11.17, an unauthenticated peer with network access to a leafnode listener with compression enabled could crash the server during the pre-authentication leafnode handshake by sending repeated leafnode INFO protocol messages before authentication and account setup completed. This issue is fixed in versions 2.12.8 and 2.11.17.
