CVE-2015-5739 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 golang-src to version 0:1.6.3-1.el7_2.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2016:1538.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-src package and not the golang-src package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The net/http library in net/textproto/reader.go in Go before 1.4.3 does not properly parse HTTP header keys, which allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a space instead of a hyphen, as demonstrated by "Content Length" instead of "Content-Length."
