CVE-2023-24534: net/http, net/textproto: denial of service from excessive memory allocation (CVE-2023-24534) · Issue #58975 · golang/go
HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts of memory, even when parsing small inputs, potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the common function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service. With fix, header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.

…r of MIME header keys
A parsed MIME header is a map[string][]string. In the common case, a header contains many one-element []string slices. To avoid allocating a separate slice for each key, ReadMIMEHeader looks ahead in the input to predict the number of keys that will be parsed, and allocates a single []string of that length. The individual slices are then allocated out of the larger one.
The prediction of the number of header keys was done by counting newlines in the input buffer, which does not take into account header continuation lines (where a header key/value spans multiple lines) or the end of the header block and the start of the body. This could lead to a substantial amount of overallocation, for example when the body consists of nothing but a large block of newlines.
Fix header key count prediction to take into account the end of the headers (indicated by a blank line) and continuation lines (starting with whitespace).
