This one again feels overblown, at least for servers. I just checked an org of over 200 GitHub repos. Node, Python, and C#. None of them are vulnerable... because none of them actually call the Brotli decoder. It's just not enabled by default on the server side, by the platforms themselves. This is much like the PHP bugs, where specific conditions have to be in play before you're actually vulnerable.

For clients? Sure, that's a bigger risk. Patch them. But bad guys aren't attacking your clients unless the clients connect to them. Don't stay up late to fix this.

(And yes, .NET is included here, because Microsoft's Brotli module is a binding for Google's vulnerable reference implementation.)

I find it amusing and appropriate that the surname of the author of that message is Frohwein. "Happy wine" in German.
