CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 git-lfs to version 0:3.4.1-2.el8_10 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git-lfs package and not the git-lfs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 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.
