Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in x-net-html up to 0.32.x on Go. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code block of the component Parse Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a amplification vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-405. The product does not properly control situations in which an adversary can cause the product to consume or produce excessive resources without requiring the adversary to invest equivalent work or otherwise prove authorization, i.e., the adversary's influence is "asymmetric." This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

An attacker can craft an input to the Parse functions that would be processed non-linearly with respect to its length, resulting in extremely slow parsing. This could cause a denial of service.
