Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
dhowden tag versions prior to 0.0.0-20201120070457-d52dcb253c63
Description
The issue is due to improper bounds checking in a number of methods, which can trigger a panic via
readAPICFrame or readAtomData 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 versions prior to 0.0.0-20201120070457-d52dcb253c63, consider updating to a version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of methods that trigger the panic, such as
readAPICFrame and readAtomData, when parsing user-supplied input to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
