Date Published: 2023-10-12

QID 995566: GO (Go) Security Update for golang.org/x/net (GHSA-4374-p667-p6c8)

A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and immediately resets them can cause excessive server resource consumption. While the total number of requests is bounded by the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress request allows the attacker to create a new request while the existing one is still executing.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
