CVE-2022-27664

A flaw was found in the golang package. In net/http in Go, attackers can cause a denial of service because an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if a fatal error preempts the shutdown.

The opportunity for a Denial of Service is limited to the golang runtime. In the case of OpenShift Container Platform, this would be restricted within each individual container. There are multiple layers of guide rails (Golang’s Garbage Collector; OpenShift’s resource constraints imposed at the container and cluster levels) which would require a malicious user to continue submitting attacks for there to be any enduring impact. They would also need access to external server resources to be able to send a massive volume of requests to cause a significant impact on server operations.
