Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU83928
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39326
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP chunked requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume excessive memory resources.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

2) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
EUVDB-ID: #VU83929
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45285
CWE-ID:
CWE-311 - Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a fallback to insecure git. Using "go get" to fetch a module with the ".git" suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure "git://" protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure "https://" and git+ssh://" protocols, even if GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. OPROXY=off).
