Description
go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. From version 5.0.0 to before version 5.17.1, a vulnerability has been identified in which a maliciously crafted .idx file can cause asymmetric memory consumption, potentially exhausting available memory and resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
