| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
net/textproto versions (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to HTTP and MIME header parsing, which can allocate large amounts of memory even when parsing small inputs, potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
