NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cerbos package and not the cerbos package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.43.0, the otlp HTTP exporters (traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap. This is exploitable for memory exhaustion when the configured collector endpoint is attacker-controlled (or a network attacker can mitm the exporter connection). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.43.0.
