description

Versions before v1.20.2 of klauspost/compress's Go zstd package can panic while decoding malformed Zstandard frames. An attacker who can supply compressed input to DecodeAll or a streaming decoder may terminate the hosting process.

mitigation

Upgrade klauspost/compress/zstd to v1.20.2 or later. Until upgraded, avoid decoding untrusted Zstandard data.

fixed in v1.20.2
