CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2 golang to version 0:1.22.3-1.amzn2.0.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2-2024-2554.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang package and not the golang package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

When parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile), limits on the total size of the parsed form were not applied to the memory consumed while reading a single form line. This permits a maliciously crafted input containing very long lines to cause allocation of arbitrarily large amounts of memory, potentially leading to memory exhaustion. With fix, the ParseMultipartForm function now correctly limits the maximum size of form lines.
