    2024-02-01: CVE-2023-47108 was added to this advisory.

    A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)
