UNKNOWN Go
Inefficient policy validation in crypto/x509
GO-2026-4946 · BIT-golang-2026-32281 · CVE-2026-32281
Published · Modified
Description
Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing 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.
