Details

Philippe Antoine discovered that Go incorrectly handled crafted HTTP/2
streams. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2022-41723)

certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
a panic resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-41724)

Ameya Darshan and Jakob Ackermann discovered that Go did not properly
validate the amount of memory and disk files ReadForm can consume. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting in a
denial of service. (CVE-2022-41725)
