CVE-2025-21614

go-git is a highly extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to v5.13. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform denial of service attacks by providing specially crafted responses from a Git server which triggers resource exhaustion in go-git clients. Users running versions of go-git from v4 and above are recommended to upgrade to v5.13 in order to mitigate this vulnerability.

Summary		(es) Go-git es una librería de implementación de Git altamente extensible escrita en Go puro. Se descubrió una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio (DoS) en versiones de Go-git anteriores a la v5.13. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a un atacante realizar ataques de denegación de servicio al proporcionar respuestas especialmente manipuladas desde un servidor Git que desencadenan el agotamiento de recursos en los clientes de Go-git. Se recomienda a los usuarios que ejecutan versiones de Go-git de la v4 y posteriores que actualicen a la v5.13 para mitigar esta vulnerabilidad.
