GO-2026-6617
HTTP/2 server crash due to HPACK encoder race in net/http
Quick fix
GO-2026-6617 — stdlib: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get stdlib@v1.26.9Details
HTTP/2 servers could end up crashing due to inadvertently modifying its HPACK encoder concurrently. This happens because the server modifies the HPACK encoder from two goroutines without synchronization: one uses the encoder to encode a HEADERS frame as part of a response sent to a client and the other modifies the encoder's table size when handling a SETTINGS frame containing SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE that a client sends. A malicious client can repeatedly send a request while changing the header table size to crash the server.
