NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang package and not the golang package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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."
