How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/google/go-attestation/attest to version 0.6.2 or higher.

Overview

github.com/google/go-attestation/attest is a Go-Attestation abstracts remote attestation operations across a variety of platforms and TPMs, enabling remote validation of machine identity and state. This project attempts to provide high-level primitives for both client and server logic.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion via the readELAMAggregation function. An attacker can cause the application to crash by submitting a specially crafted Windows event log containing deeply nested elamAggregation headers, which exhausts the goroutine call stack and triggers a fatal runtime error.
