golang: ReadUvarint and ReadVarint can read an unlimited number of bytes from invalid inputs

A flaw was found in the Go encoding/binary package. Certain invalid inputs to the ReadUvarint or the ReadVarint causes those functions to read an unlimited number of bytes from the ByteReader argument before returning an error. This flaw possibly leads to processing more input than expected. The...

RHEL 7 : go-toolset-1.13-golang (RHSA-2020:4214)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:4214 advisory. Go Toolset provides the Go programming language tools and libraries. Go is alternatively known as golang. Security Fixes: golang.org/x/text:...

Medium: golang

Issue Overview: The x/text package before 0.3.3 for Go has a vulnerability in encoding/unicode that could lead to the UTF-16 decoder entering an infinite loop, causing the program to crash or run out of memory. An attacker could provide a single byte to a UTF16 decoder instantiated with UseBOM or...
