Descriptions
The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value.
A flaw was found in Golang, where it is vulnerable to HTTP header injection caused by improper content validation of the Host header by the HTTP/1 client. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary HTTP headers by persuading a victim to visit a specially crafted Web page. This flaw allows the attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including Cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, or session hijacking.
