CVEID:CVE-2022-23806
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw with IsOnCurve function returns true for invalid field elements. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes a panic in ScalarMult, and results in a denial of condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219444 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2021-22569
**DESCRIPTION:**Google Protocol Buffer (protobuf-java) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an issue with allow interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a timeout in ProtobufFuzzer function, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216851 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-24921
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By using a specially-crafted deeply nested expression, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a goroutine stack exhaustion, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/221503 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2021-44716
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an uncontrolled memory consumption in the header canonicalization cache in net/http. By sending HTTP/2 requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume all available memory resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216553 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2021-44717
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error in the syscall.ForkExec() interface. By causing the erroneous closing of file descriptor 0 after file-descriptor exhaustion, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to compromise data integrity and/or confidentiality in a somewhat uncontrolled way in programs linked with and using syscall.ForkExec().
CVSS Base score: 4.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/216563 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-38561
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go Text is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an improper index calculation that allows an incorrectly formatted language tag to panic Parse. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger an out-of-bounds read and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219760 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2021-43565
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an input validation flaw in golang.org/x/crypto’s readCipherPacket() function. By sending an empty plaintext packet to a program linked with golang.org/x/crypto/ssh, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a panic.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
