Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25679)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass URL parsing validation and potentially access unintended resources.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation in net/url.Parse when handling IPv6 literals not located at the start of the host component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted URL with an IPv6 literal preceded by garbage characters to bypass proper parsing and potentially redirect requests.
This issue affects any application using net/url.Parse to process untrusted URLs. The incorrect parsing may lead to misrouting or injection of unintended host components.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27145)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in crypto/x509 certificate hostname verification when processing certificates with a large DNS subject alternative name list. A remote attacker can present a specially crafted certificate to cause a denial of service.
The excessive verification cost occurs before the certificate chain is built, so the overhead is incurred even for untrusted certificates.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32280)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in the Certificate.Verify chain-building logic in crypto/x509 when processing a large number of intermediate certificates supplied through VerifyOptions.Intermediates. A remote attacker can provide a large number of intermediate certificates to cause a denial of service.
This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls.
4) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33811)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to double free in net.LookupCNAME and Resolver.LookupCNAME when processing a very long CNAME response with the cgo DNS resolver. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS response to cause a denial of service.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-39820)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in net/mail address and date parsing functions when parsing well-crafted input. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to cause a denial of service.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-42499)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in net/mail consumePhrase when parsing an email address according to RFC 5322. A remote attacker can supply a pathological email address input to cause a denial of service.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-42504)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in WordDecoder.DecodeHeader in the mime package when parsing a maliciously crafted MIME header containing many invalid encoded-words. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted MIME header to cause a denial of service.
