First published: Tue Mar 05 2024(Updated: )

Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when parsing a multipart form in the net/textproto package. By sending a specially crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to allocate arbitrarily large amounts of memory, and results in a denial of service condition.
