FreeBSD: VID-02E51CB3-D7E4-11ED-9F7A-5404A68AD561 (CVE-2023-29013): traefik -- Use of vulnerable Go modules net/http, net/textproto

Description

Details for this vulnerability have not been published by NIST at this point. Descriptions from software vendor advisories for this issue are provided below.

From VID-02E51CB3-D7E4-11ED-9F7A-5404A68AD561:

The Go project reports:

HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts

of memory, even when parsing small inputs, potentially

leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns

of input data can cause the common function used to parse

HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more

memory than required to hold the parsed headers. An

attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP

server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small

request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a

denial of service. With fix, header parsing now correctly

allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.
