CVE-2022-41723 is an algorithmic-complexity vulnerability in the HTTP/2 HPACK decoder used by Go's net/http implementation and the Go Networking HTTP/2 package. Maliciously crafted HTTP/2 streams trigger quadratic-complexity header decoding, causing excessive CPU consumption. A small number of small requests can exhaust processing resources sufficiently to cause denial of service. The issue also affects applications that manually configure HTTP/2 using the Go Networking package.
