golang.org/x/net/http vulnerable to a reset flood

CVE-2019-9514GHSA-39qc-96h7-956f

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (golang.org/x/net 0.0.0-20190813141303-74dc4d7220e7), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. Servers that accept direct connections from untrusted clients could be remotely made to allocate an unlimited amount of memory, until the program crashes. The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RSTSTREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer queues the RSTSTREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both. Specific Go Packages Affected golang.org/x/net/http2

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2019-9514

Advisory: golang.org/x/net/http vulnerable to a reset flood
IDs: CVE-2019-9514, GHSA-39qc-96h7-956f
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2019-9514 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:04 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: golang.org/x/net 0.0.0-20190813141303-74dc4d7220e7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go golang.org/x/net: affected < 0.0.0-20190813141303-74dc4d7220e7; fixed in 0.0.0-20190813141303-74dc4d7220e7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go golang.org/x/net: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on golang.org/x/net.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-39qc-96h7-956f (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-39qc-96h7-956f lists affected ranges: Go golang.org/x/net >=0 <0.0.0-20190813141303-74dc4d7220e7)
