What
Send a newly created byte slice with the csaf document content on the channel. Previously the sent byte slice was gained from the method
Buffer.Bytes()
. However this "slice is valid for use only until the next buffer modification" and therefore modified with the next buffer modification..Why
The bug caused a data race. If the receiver is not processing the content from the channel fast enough, the content of the returned byte slice is overwritten by the next downloaded CSAF.
