NVD Description

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

Uncontrolled recursion in Unmarshal in encoding/xml before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via unmarshalling an XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field that uses the 'any' field tag.
