| summary: Unbounded read from invalid inputs in encoding/binary |
| description: |- |
| ReadUvarint and ReadVarint can read an unlimited number of bytes from invalid |
| inputs. |
| |
| Certain invalid inputs to ReadUvarint or ReadVarint can cause these functions to |
| read an unlimited number of bytes from the ByteReader parameter before returning |
| an error. This can lead to processing more input than expected when the caller |
| is reading directly from a network and depends on ReadUvarint or ReadVarint only |
| consuming a small, bounded number of bytes, even from invalid inputs. |
