summary: Panic due to large headers in net/http and golang.org/x/net/http/httpguts
description: |-
    A malicious HTTP server or client can cause the net/http client or server to
    panic.

    ReadRequest and ReadResponse can hit an unrecoverable panic when reading a very
    large header (over 7MB on 64-bit architectures, or over 4MB on 32-bit ones).
    Transport and Client are vulnerable and the program can be made to crash by a
    malicious server. Server is not vulnerable by default, but can be if the default
    max header of 1MB is overridden by setting Server.MaxHeaderBytes to a higher
    value, in which case the program can be made to crash by a malicious client.

    This also affects golang.org/x/net/http2/h2c and HeaderValuesContainsToken in
    golang.org/x/net/http/httpguts.
