CVE-2022-41715 is an uncontrolled memory-consumption vulnerability in Go's regexp/syntax regular-expression parser. Applications that compile regular expressions from untrusted sources can be induced to parse expressions whose internal representation has a disproportionately high memory cost: although representation growth is linear relative to input size, the constant factor can reach 40,000. Relatively small attacker-controlled expressions can therefore exhaust memory and deny service. The fix imposes a 256 MB memory limit for parsing each individual regular expression and rejects expressions that would exceed it.
