description

Google Brotli decoder versions 1.0.3 through 1.2.0 are affected by an out-of-bounds write. An unauthenticated remote attacker who can supply a crafted Brotli-compressed stream may disclose memory, disrupt service, or potentially execute code.

Still under analysis: more detail becomes available as the pipeline runs.

mitigation

Upgrade github.com/google/brotli to 1.0.10, 1.1.1, or 1.2.1. Ensure applications do not process untrusted Brotli-compressed input until updated.

fixed in 1.0.10, 1.1.1, 1.2.1
