AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-61728 is a vulnerability identified in the `net/http` package of the Go programming language, affecting versions Go 1.25.6 and Go 1.24.12. This issue, also tracked as Go issue 77102, concerns a potential for memory exhaustion when parsing URL-encoded forms. Specifically, the vulnerability arises because the `net/http` package may allocate an unexpectedly large amount of memory when processing a URL-encoded form that contains a significant number of key-value pairs. This excessive memory allocation can lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition due to memory exhaustion. The issue was reported by jub0bs.

Description: archive/zip uses a super-linear file name indexing algorithm that is invoked the first time a file in an archive is opened. This can lead to a denial of service when consuming a maliciously constructed ZIP archive.
