Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32281)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
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 improper input validation in Certificate.Verify in crypto/x509 when validating certificate chains containing a very large number of policy mappings. A remote attacker can present a specially crafted certificate chain to cause a denial of service.
This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool or in the system certificate pool.
3) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-5588)
CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass signature verification.
The vulnerability exists due to use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in the PKIX draft CompositeVerifier when processing composite signatures. A remote attacker can provide an empty signature sequence to bypass signature verification.
4) Dependency on vulnerable third-party component (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32283)
CWE-ID: CWE-1395 - Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component
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 dependency on a vulnerable third-party component in the Go standard library used by Fleet Server when handling network input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted payload to cause a denial of service.
All configurations are affected.
