CVE-2015-5741
The net/http library in net/http/transfer.go in Go before 1.4.3 does not properly parse HTTP headers, which allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a request that contains Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding header fields.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
