Dhowden · Dhowden Tag · CVE-2020-29244
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
dhowden tag versions prior to 0.0.0-20201120070457-d52dcb253c63
dhowden tag versions prior to 2020-11-19
**Description**
The issue is due to improper bounds checking in several methods, which can trigger a panic via `readAPICFrame`, `readAtomData`, or `readTextWithDescrFrame` due to attempted out-of-bounds reads. If the package is used to parse user-supplied input, this may be used as a vector for a denial of service attack.
**Recommendations**
For dhowden tag versions prior to 0.0.0-20201120070457-d52dcb253c63, update to version 0.0.0-20201120070457-d52dcb253c63 or later.
For dhowden tag versions prior to 2020-11-19, update to a version released on or after 2020-11-19.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of methods `readAPICFrame`, `readAtomData`, and `readTextWithDescrFrame` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
