CWE ID 89

Summary

CVE-2024-1394 is a memory leak vulnerability affecting Golang's RSA encrypting and decrypting code. This issue, found in github.com/golang-fips/openssl/openssl/rsa.go, could lead to resource exhaustion when processing attacker-controlled inputs. The memory leak is due to the failure to properly free pkey and ctx objects when an error occurs during context initialization or property setting. Despite the use of named return parameters, these objects become nil in the deferred function responsible for their disposal, resulting in a potential memory leak and potential resource exhaustion.
