USN-7197-1: Go Networking vulnerability

Publication date

9 January 2025

Overview

golang-golang-x-net could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network traffic.


Packages

Details

Guido Vranken discovered that Go Networking handled input to the Parse
functions inefficiently. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause denial of service. This update addresses the issue in the
golang-golang-x-net and golang-golang-x-net-dev packages, as well as the
library vendored within adsys and juju-core.
