CVE-2026-97054 HTTP/1 server crash due to MaxBytesReader header race in net/http
go standard library net/http: no CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.2% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days. Fixed in stdlib 1.26.11, 1.27.4.
On this page
For HTTP/1 servers, when MaxBytesReader's limit is exceeded, "Connection: close" header is automatically set without synchronization, which might race with another header being set explicitly in the server handler. As a result, an HTTP/1 server that utilizes MaxBytesReader or MaxBytesHandler can crash due to runtime panic if its handler reads the request body concurrently with writing the response header.
