How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 crit to version 0:3.18-5.module+el8.10.0+90416+5b0f6a17 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2024-8038.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream crit package and not the crit package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

When parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile), limits on the total size of the parsed form were not applied to the memory consumed while reading a single form line. This permits a maliciously crafted input containing very long lines to cause allocation of arbitrarily large amounts of memory, potentially leading to memory exhaustion. With fix, the ParseMultipartForm function now correctly limits the maximum size of form lines.
