Affected packages

• Go github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum: <= 1.13.4 (no fix yet)

Description

Geth (aka go-ethereum) through 1.13.4, when `--http --graphql` is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon hang) via a crafted GraphQL query. NOTE: the vendor's position is that the "graphql endpoint [is not] designed to withstand attacks by hostile clients, nor handle huge amounts of clients/traffic.
