Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

The RemoteAddr and LocalAddr methods on the returned net.Conn may call themselves, leading to an infinite loop which will crash the program due to a stack overflow.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/btcsuite/go-socks, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/btcsuite/go-socks to 0.0.0-20130808000456-233bccbb1abe or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2013-10005 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

The `RemoteAddr` and `LocalAddr` methods on the returned `net.Conn` may call themselves, leading to an infinite loop which will crash the program due to a stack overflow.
