Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

As discussed upstream -- here and here -- the Go project received notification of an HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in the net/http library. Invalid headers are parsed as valid headers (like 'Content Length:' with a space in the middle) and Double Content-length headers in a request does not generate a 400 error, the second Content-length is ignored.

Solution

Run 'yum update golang docker' to update your system.
