NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream opa package and not the opa package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.43.0, the otlp HTTP exporters (traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap. This is exploitable for memory exhaustion when the configured collector endpoint is attacker-controlled (or a network attacker can mitm the exporter connection). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.43.0.
