CVE-2024-45338 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Go x/net HTML parser. Its Parse functions process specially crafted case-insensitive content non-linearly relative to input length, resulting in extremely slow parsing and resource exhaustion. Applications that pass attacker-controlled HTML to the affected parsing functions can experience service disruption.
