Uncontrolled recursion in Decoder.Decode in encoding/gob before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via a message which contains deeply nested structures.
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
