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/http/transfer.go in Go before 1.4.3 does not properly parse HTTP headers, which allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a request with two Content-length headers.
