How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:9 golang-docs to version 0:1.19.13-1.el9_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2023:5738.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-docs package and not the golang-docs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value.
