NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-golang-x-image package and not the golang-golang-x-image package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

VP8L decoding in golang.org/x/image/vp8l can allocate an excessive amount of memory when processing a crafted VP8L image containing many unused Huffman tree groups. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via memory exhaustion.
