CVE-2015-5740

Public on 2015-08-24
Modified on 2015-08-24
Description

HTTP-request vulnerabilities have been found in the Golang net/http and net/textproto libraries. Request headers with double Content-Length fields do not generate a 400 error (the second field is ignored), and invalid fields are parsed as valid (for example, "Content Length:" with a space in the middle is accepted). A non-authenticated attacker could exploit these flaws to bypass security controls, perform web-cache poisoning, or alter the request/response map (denial of service).
