NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ory-kratos package and not the ory-kratos 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.
