GO-2025-4012 · BIT-golang-2025-58186 · CVE-2025-58186
Published · Modified
Description
Despite HTTP headers having a default limit of 1MB, the number of cookies that can be parsed does not have a limit. By sending a lot of very small cookies such as "a=;", an attacker can make an HTTP server allocate a large amount of structs, causing large memory consumption.
