* CVE-2021-44716

"net/http: limit growth of header canonicalization cache

An attacker can cause unbounded memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests.
For users who cannot immediately update to the new release, setting the GODEBUG=http2server=0 environment variable before calling Serve will disable HTTP/2 unless it was manually configured through the golang.org/x/net/http2 package.

This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2 v0.0.0-20211209124913-491a49abca63, for users manually configuring HTTP/2.

Thank you to murakmii for reporting this issue.

This is CVE-2021-44716 and Go issue go.dev/issue/50058."

* CVE-2021-44717

"syscall: don’t close fd 0 on ForkExec error

When a Go program running on a Unix system is out of file descriptors and calls syscall.ForkExec (including indirectly by using the os/exec package), syscall.ForkExec can close file descriptor 0 as it fails. If this happens (or can be provoked) repeatedly, it can result in misdirected I/O such as writing network traffic intended for one connection to a different connection, or content intended for one file to a different one.

For users who cannot immediately update to the new release, the bug can be mitigated by raising the per-process file descriptor limit.

Thank you to Tomasz Maczukin and Kamil Trzciński of GitLab for reporting this issue.

This is CVE-2021-44717 and Go issue go.dev/issue/50057."
