CVE-2024-37298: Potential memory exhaustion attack due to sparse slice deserialization

July 1, 2024

Any use of schema.Decoder.Decode() on a struct with arrays of other structs could be vulnerable to this memory exhaustion vulnerability. There seems to be no possible solution that a developer using this library can do to disable this behaviour without fixing it in this project, so all uses of Decode that fall under this umbrella are affected. A fix that doesn’t require a major change may also be harder to find, since it could break compatibility with some other intended use-cases.
