Add two Go queries for detecting behaviors that can lead to memory leakage:

  • DeferReleaseInLoop - deferring a resource release can cause memory leakage across iterations. This query models constrains search to common APIs where this would manifest (eg. os.OpenFile).
  • UnboundedIORead - invoking io.ReadAll of untrusted input can exhaust server memory for a denial-of-service.

i think this doesn't matter for resources in the current list. net/http is a bit of an odd duck since Close isn't on the top-level Response

Add two Go queries for detecting behaviors that can lead to memory leakage:

  • DeferReleaseInLoop - deferring a resource release can cause memory leakage across iterations. This query models constrains search to common APIs where this would manifest (eg. os.OpenFile).
  • UnboundedIORead - invoking io.ReadAll of untrusted input can exhaust server memory for a denial-of-service.

Add two Go queries for detecting behaviors that can lead to memory leakage:

  • DeferReleaseInLoop - deferring a resource release can cause memory leakage across iterations. This query models constrains search to common APIs where this would manifest (eg. os.OpenFile).
  • UnboundedIORead - invoking io.ReadAll of untrusted input can exhaust server memory for a denial-of-service.

Can this be parameterized with MaD?

thinking out loud: can selectors be nested? does this work for e.g. a.b.c.Close()?

i think this doesn't matter for resources in the current list. net/http is a bit of an odd duck since Close isn't on the top-level Response

Looks good on my items, I'd like a final sanity check from a codeowner :) @GrosQuildu maybe?
