    The protojson.Unmarshal function can enter an infinite loop when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid     JSON. This condition can occur when unmarshaling into a message which contains a google.protobuf.Any     value, or when the UnmarshalOptions.DiscardUnknown option is set. (CVE-2024-24786)

    The various Is methods (IsPrivate, IsLoopback, etc) did not work as expected for IPv4-mapped IPv6     addresses, returning false for addresses which would return true in their traditional IPv4 forms.
    (CVE-2024-24790)

    Package jose aims to provide an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of     standards. An attacker could send a JWE containing compressed data that used large amounts of memory and     CPU when decompressed by Decrypt or DecryptMulti. Those functions now return an error if the decompressed     data would exceed 250kB or 10x the compressed size (whichever is larger). This vulnerability has been     patched in versions 4.0.1, 3.0.3 and 2.6.3. (CVE-2024-28180)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
