Upgrade github.com/grpc/grpc-go/mem to version 1.83.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the HTTP/2 DATA frame receive buffer handling, where each received fragment incurs per-fragment tracking and queue allocation overhead even while staying within the configured flow-control windows. An attacker can drive the process to an OutOfMemory condition or a runtime panic by opening gRPC streams and fragmenting payloads into millions of tiny HTTP/2 DATA frames, such as 1 byte each, across many concurrent multiplexed streams. This requires only the ability to establish gRPC stream connections to the server.
