Summary
A flaw was found in golang. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malformed TIFF image, which will consume a significant amount of memory when passed to DecodeConfig, leading to a denial of service.

01

What, why and how

An attacker can craft a malformed TIFF image which will consume a significant amount of memory when passed to DecodeConfig. This could lead to a denial of service.

What

An attacker can craft a malformed TIFF image which will consume a significant amount of memory when passed to DecodeConfig. This could lead to a denial of service.

Why

The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation without authentication after a user interaction. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Uncontrolled Resource Consumption → disrupt the affected service
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
User interaction

Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-400 ↗

CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UIRequiredUser interaction: Another user must perform an action for exploitation to succeed.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CNoneConfidentiality impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.INoneIntegrity impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.

The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

De kwetsbaarheden stellen ongeauthenticeerde kwaadwillenden in staat om Denial of Service (DoS) aanvallen uit te voeren of om ongeautoriseerde toegang tot gevoelige gegevens te verkrijgen. Specifieke versies, zoals 24.2.0 en 24.3.0 van de Cloud Native Core Network Function, zijn bijzonder kwetsbaar. Kwaadwillenden kunnen deze kwetsbaarheden misbruiken door speciaal geprepareerde HTTP-verzoeken te sturen naar het kwetsbare systeem.
