This releases includes 6 security fixes following the security policy:
- archive/zip: denial of service when parsing arbitrary ZIP archives
archive/zip used a super-linear file name indexing algorithm that is invoked the first time a file in an archive is opened. This can lead to a denial of service when consuming a maliciously constructed ZIP archive.
Thanks to Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61728 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77102.
- net/http: memory exhaustion in Request.ParseForm
When parsing a URL-encoded form net/http may allocate an unexpected amount of
memory when provided a large number of key-value pairs. This can result in a
denial of service due to memory exhaustion.
Thanks to jub0bs for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61726 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77101.
- crypto/tls: Config.Clone copies automatically generated session ticket keys, session resumption does not account for the expiration of full certificate chain
The Config.Clone methods allows cloning a Config which has already been passed
to a TLS function, allowing it to be mutated and reused.
If Config.SessionTicketKey has not been set, and Config.SetSessionTicketKeys has
not been called, crypto/tls will generate random session ticket keys and
automatically rotate them. Config.Clone would copy these automatically generated
keys into the returned Config, meaning that the two Configs would share session
ticket keys, allowing sessions created using one Config could be used to resume
sessions with the other Config. This can allow clients to resume sessions even
though the Config may be configured such that they should not be able to do so.
Config.Clone no longer copies the automatically generated session ticket keys.
Config.Clone still copies keys which are explicitly provided, either by setting
Config.SessionTicketKey or by calling Config.SetSessionTicketKeys.
This issue was discoverd by the Go Security team while investigating another
issue reported by Coia Prant (github.com/rbqvq).
Additionally, on the server side only the expiration of the leaf certificate, if
one was provided during the initial handshake, was checked when considering if a
session could be resumed. This allowed sessions to be resumed if an intermediate
or root certificate in the chain had expired.
Session resumption now takes into account of the full chain when determining if
the session can be resumed.
Thanks to Coia Prant (github.com/rbqvq) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-68121 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77113.
- cmd/go: bypass of flag sanitization can lead to arbitrary code execution
Usage of 'CgoPkgConfig' allowed execution of the pkg-config
binary with flags that are not explicitly safe-listed.
To prevent this behavior, compiler flags resulting from usage
of 'CgoPkgConfig' are sanitized prior to invoking pkg-config.
Thank you to RyotaK (https://ryotak.net) of GMO Flatt Security Inc.
for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61731 and go.dev/issue/77100.
- cmd/go: unexpected code execution when invoking toolchain
The Go toolchain supports multiple VCS which are used retrieving modules and
embedding build information into binaries.
On systems with Mercurial installed (hg) downloading modules (e.g. via go get or
go mod download) from non-standard sources (e.g. custom domains) can cause
unexpected code execution due to how external VCS commands are constructed.
On systems with Git installed, downloading and building modules with malicious
version strings could allow an attacker to write to arbitrary files on the
system the user has access to. This can only be triggered by explicitly
providing the malicious version strings to the toolchain, and does not affect
usage of @latest or bare module paths.
The toolchain now uses safer VCS options to prevent misinterpretation of
untrusted inputs. In addition, the toolchain now disallows module version
strings prefixed with a "-" or "/" character.
Thanks to splitline (@splitline) from DEVCORE Research Team for reporting this
issue.
This is CVE-2025-68119 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77099.
- crypto/tls: handshake messages may be processed at the incorrect encryption level
During the TLS 1.3 handshake if multiple messages are sent in records that span
encryption level boundaries (for instance the Client Hello and Encrypted
Extensions messages), the subsequent messages may be processed before the
encryption level changes. This can cause some minor information disclosure if a
network-local attacker can inject messages during the handshake.
Thanks to Coia Prant (github.com/rbqvq) for reporting this issue.

This minor release includes 10 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/mail: excessive CPU consumption in ParseAddress
The ParseAddress function constructed domain-literal address components through repeated string concatenation. When parsing large domain-literal components, this could cause excessive CPU consumption.
Thanks to Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61725 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75680.
- crypto/x509: quadratic complexity when checking name constraints
Due to the design of the name constraint checking algorithm, the processing time
of some inputs scales non-linearly with respect to the size of the certificate.
This affects programs which validate arbitrary certificate chains.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58187 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75681.
- crypto/tls: ALPN negotiation errors can contain arbitrary text
The crypto/tls conn.Handshake method returns an error on the server-side when
ALPN negotation fails which can contain arbitrary attacker controlled
information provided by the client-side of the connection which is not escaped.
This affects programs which log these errors without any additional form of
sanitization, and may allow injection of attacker controlled information into
logs.
Thanks to National Cyber Security Centre Finland for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58189 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75652.
- encoding/pem: quadratic complexity when parsing some invalid inputs
Due to the design of the PEM parsing function, the processing time for some
inputs scales non-linearly with respect to the size of the input.
This affects programs which parse untrusted PEM inputs.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61723 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75676.
- net/url: insufficient validation of bracketed IPv6 hostnames
The Parse function permitted values other than IPv6 addresses to be included in square brackets within the host component of a URL. RFC 3986 permits IPv6 addresses to be included within the host component, enclosed within square brackets. For example: "http://[::1]/". IPv4 addresses and hostnames must not appear within square brackets. Parse did not enforce this requirement.
Thanks to Enze Wang, Jingcheng Yang and Zehui Miao of Tsinghua University for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-47912 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75678.
- encoding/asn1: pre-allocating memory when parsing DER payload can cause memory exhaustion
When parsing DER payloads, memories were being allocated prior to fully validating the payloads.
This permits an attacker to craft a big empty DER payload to cause memory exhaustion in functions such as asn1.Unmarshal, x509.ParseCertificateRequest, and ocsp.ParseResponse.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58185 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75671.
- net/http: lack of limit when parsing cookies can cause memory exhaustion
Despite HTTP headers having a default limit of 1 MB, the number of cookies that can be parsed did not have a limit.
By sending a lot of very small cookies such as "a=;", an attacker can make an HTTP server allocate a large amount of structs, causing large memory consumption.
net/http now limits the number of cookies accepted to 3000, which can be adjusted using the httpcookiemaxnum GODEBUG option.
Thanks to jub0bs for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58186 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75672.
- crypto/x509: panic when validating certificates with DSA public keys
Validating certificate chains which contain DSA public keys can cause programs
to panic, due to a interface cast that assumes they implement the Equal method.
This affects programs which validate arbitrary certificate chains.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58188 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75675.
- archive/tar: unbounded allocation when parsing GNU sparse map
tar.Reader did not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A maliciously-crafted archive containing a large number of sparse regions could cause a Reader to read an unbounded amount of data from the archive into memory. When reading from a compressed source, a small compressed input could result in large allocations.

This is CVE-2025-58183 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75677.
- net/textproto: excessive CPU consumption in Reader.ReadResponse
The Reader.ReadResponse function constructed a response string through
repeated string concatenation of lines. When the number of lines in a response is large,
this could cause excessive CPU consumption.

Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.23.5 and 1.22.11, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
- crypto/x509: usage of IPv6 zone IDs can bypass URI name constraints
A certificate with a URI which has a IPv6 address with a zone ID may
incorrectly satisfy a URI name constraint that applies to the certificate
chain.
Certificates containing URIs are not permitted in the web PKI, so this
only affects users of private PKIs which make use of URIs.
Thanks to Juho Forsén of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2024-45341 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/71156.
- net/http: sensitive headers incorrectly sent after cross-domain redirect
The HTTP client drops sensitive headers after following a cross-domain redirect.
For example, a request to a.com/ containing an Authorization header which is
redirected to b.com/ will not send that header to b.com.
In the event that the client received a subsequent same-domain redirect, however,
the sensitive headers would be restored. For example, a chain of redirects from
a.com/, to b.com/1, and finally to b.com/2 would incorrectly send the Authorization
header to b.com/2.
Thanks to Kyle Seely for reporting this issue.

These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- cmd/go: cgo code injection
The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This
may result in unexpected behavior when running a go program which uses cgo.
This may occur when running an untrusted module which contains directories with
newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go command,
i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e.
GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29402 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60167.
- runtime: unexpected behavior of setuid/setgid binaries
The Go runtime didn't act any differently when a binary had the setuid/setgid
bit set. On Unix platforms, if a setuid/setgid binary was executed with standard
I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files could result in unexpected
content being read/written with elevated prilieges. Similarly if a setuid/setgid
program was terminated, either via panic or signal, it could leak the contents
of its registers.
Thanks to Vincent Dehors from Synacktiv for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29403 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60272.
- cmd/go: improper sanitization of LDFLAGS
The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may
occur when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other
command which builds untrusted code. This is can by triggered by linker flags,
specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive.
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29404 and CVE-2023-29405 and Go issues https://go.dev/issue/60305 and https://go.dev/issue/60306.
