- Summary
- Potential memory exhaustion attack due to sparse slice deserialization
- Details
-
gorilla/schema converts structs to and from form values. Prior to version 1.4.1 Running
schema.Decoder.Decode()on a struct that has a field of type[]struct{...}opens it up to malicious attacks regarding memory allocations, taking advantage of the sparse slice functionality. Any use ofschema.Decoder.Decode()on a struct with arrays of other structs could be vulnerable to this memory exhaustion vulnerability. Version 1.4.1 contains a patch for the issue. - Database specific
