CVE-2023-45290 is a resource-exhaustion vulnerability in Go's HTTP multipart-form parsing. Aggregate form-size limits do not constrain memory consumed while reading an individual form line, allowing malicious multipart input containing extremely long lines to trigger arbitrarily large memory allocations. The vulnerable parsing is invoked explicitly through Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly through Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, and Request.FormFile. Exploitation can exhaust memory and cause denial of service. The corrected implementation limits the maximum size of individual form lines.
