6.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
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 several methods, which can trigger a panic via
readAtomData or readAPICFrame 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 proper bounds checking to prevent out-of-bounds reads. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of methods that can trigger a panic, such as
readAtomData and readAPICFrame, until a patch is available. Avoid using the package to parse user-supplied input until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
