Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: Doc Type: ---
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the `encoding/xml` package of Go. The `DecodeElement` function failed to correctly track recursion depth, which could lead to stack exhaustion. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted XML input, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected application.

Previously, DecodeElement would reset the depth counter causing it to never fire; this could lead to stack exhaustion.
