Bumps ws from 8.18.2 to 8.21.3.

Release notes

Sourced from ws's releases.

8.21.3

Bug fixes

  • The server now correctly rejects permessage-deflate offers if the incoming client_max_window_bits parameter value is smaller than its configured clientMaxWindowBits (e97a20ea).

8.21.2

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a test for CITGM (2eb3be0b).

8.21.1

Bug fixes

  • Empty fragments are now counted toward the limit (a2f4e7c0).
  • The default values of the maxBufferedChunks and maxFragments options have been reduced (f197ac65).

8.21.0

Features

  • Introduced the maxBufferedChunks and maxFragments options (2b2abd45).

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a remote memory exhaustion DoS vulnerability (2b2abd45).

A high volume of tiny fragments and data chunks could be sent by a peer, using modest network traffic, to crash a ws server or client due to OOM.

import{WebSocket,WebSocketServer}from'ws';constwss=newWebSocketServer({port: 0},function(){constdata=Buffer.alloc(1);constoptions={fin: false};const{ port }=wss.address();constws=newWebSocket(ws://localhost:${port});ws.on('open',function(){(functionsend(){ws.send(data,options,function(err){if(err)return;send();});})();});</tr></table>

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
