gopacket: Multiple layer decoders panic on crafted packets (out-of-bounds/underflow) enabling unauthenticated remote DoS via DecodingLayerParser

Published Aug 7, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
gopacket provides packet processing capabilities for Go. Through version 1.7.0, multiple layer decoders use attacker-controlled lengths, counts, or offsets before validating them against packet buffers, allowing a crafted packet decoded through DecodingLayerParser or DecodeFromBytes to trigger an unrecovered panic and remotely deny service. A patch commit is available at 210f25f.
