HIGH7.5
GHSA-5rcv-m4m3-hfh7
golang.org/x/text Infinite loop
Quick fix
GHSA-5rcv-m4m3-hfh7 — golang.org/x/text: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get golang.org/x/text@v0.3.3Details
Go version v0.3.3 of the x/text package fixes a vulnerability in encoding/unicode that could lead to the UTF-16 decoder entering an infinite loop, causing the program to crash or run out of memory. An attacker could provide a single byte to a UTF16 decoder instantiated with UseBOM or ExpectBOM to trigger an infinite loop if the String function on the Decoder is called, or the Decoder is passed to golang.org/x/text/transform.String.
