Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61726)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the Request.ParseForm method in net/http when parsing a URL-encoded form. A remote attacker can pass an overly large request with a large number of key-value pairs and consume all available memory on the system. 


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61729)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the HostnameError.Error() function in crypto/x509 when printing error string for host certificate validation. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application and trigger resource exhaustion, leading to a denial of service condition. 


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23490)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling RELATIVE-OID with excessive continuation octets. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58183)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists in archive/tar due to the tar.Reader does not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61728)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing zip archives. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted zip archive to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-68121)

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation within HTTP/3 connections. A remote attacker can cause cause a client to resume a session with a server that it would not have resumed with during the initial handshake
