Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

## Impact Trying to read malformed HAMT sharded directories can cause panics and virtual memory leaks. If you are reading untrusted user input, an attacker can then trigger a panic. This is caused by a bogus fanout parameter in the HAMT directory nodes. This includes checks returned in [ipfs/go-bitfield GHSA-2h6c-j3gf-xp9r](https://github.com/ipfs/go-bitfield/security/advisories/GHSA-2h6c-j3gf-xp9r), as well as limiting the fanout to <= 1024 (to avoid attempts of arbitrary sized allocations). ## Patches - https://github.com/ipfs/go-unixfsnode/commit/91b3d39d33ef0cd2aff2c95d50b2329350944b68 - https://github.com/ipfs/go-unixfsnode/commit/a4ed723727e0bdc2277158337c2fc0d82802d122 ## References * https://github.com/ipfs/go-unixfs/security/advisories/GHSA-q264-w97q-q778 * https://github.com/ipfs/go-bitfield/security/advisories/GHSA-2h6c-j3gf-xp9r
