- Summary
- Maliciously crafted Git server replies can cause DoS on go-git clients
- Details
-
Impact
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to
v5.11. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform denial of service attacks by providing specially crafted responses from a Git server which triggers resource exhaustion ingo-gitclients.Applications using only the in-memory filesystem supported by
go-gitare not affected by this vulnerability. This is ago-gitimplementation issue and does not affect the upstreamgitcli.Patches
Users running versions of
go-gitfromv4and above are recommended to upgrade tov5.11in order to mitigate this vulnerability.Workarounds
In cases where a bump to the latest version of
go-gitis not possible, we recommend limiting its use to only trust-worthy Git servers.Credit
