[release-branch.go1.25] encoding/asn1: prevent memory exhaustion when parsing using internal/saferio
Within parseSequenceOf, reflect.MakeSlice is being used to pre-allocate
a slice that is needed in order to fully validate the given DER payload.
The size of the slice allocated are also multiple times larger than the
input DER:
- When using asn1.Unmarshal directly, the allocated slice is ~28x
larger.
- When passing in DER using x509.ParseCertificateRequest, the allocated
slice is ~48x larger.
- When passing in DER using ocsp.ParseResponse, the allocated slice is
~137x larger.
As a result, a malicious actor can craft a big empty DER payload,
resulting in an unnecessary large allocation of memories. This can be a
way to cause memory exhaustion.
To prevent this, we now use SliceCapWithSize within internal/saferio to
enforce a memory allocation cap.
