How to Fix GHSA-967g-cjx4-h7j6

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/ipld/go-codec-dagpb fixed: 1.3.1 
Upgrade github.com/ipld/go-codec-dagpb to 1.3.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/ipld/go-codec-dagpb

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-967g-cjx4-h7j6, inspect your project dependencies for Duplicate Advisory:

inspect dependencies for github.com/ipld/go-codec-dagpb

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer, where the product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. this may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-g3vv-g2j5-45f2. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description go-codec-dagpb is an implementation of the DAG-PB spec for Go. The dag-pb codec can panic when decoding invalid blocks. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.1.
