✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability. Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, strictly sanitize and enforce bounds checking on any untrusted user input that influences loop counters, iteration limits, or memory indices. If there is no integer overflow or underflow, the out-of-bounds access cannot occur. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, review code that performs memory copies or struct assignments. If data is being passed through an interface (such as 'any' or 'interface{}') just before a move operation, refactor the code to use concrete types or explicit pointers instead. Workaround: A flaw was found in the Go standard library crypto/x509 package. When verifying a TLS certificate hostname, VerifyHostname processed each DNS Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entry in a loop and repeatedly split the candidate hostname on "." characters. For certificates with a very large DNS SAN list, CPU use could grow quadratically with the number of SAN entries and hostname labels. Because hostname verification runs before the certificate chain is built, this overhead can occur even when the certificate is not trusted. Red Hat rates this issue as Important. It affects Red Hat products that include the Go standard library crypto/x509 code from an affected Go toolchain version (before Go 1.25.11, or from Go 1.26.0 through Go 1.26.3). Applications and container images built with a fixed Go release (1.25.11 or later, or 1.26.4 or later) are not affected. Community distributions such as Fedora are also affected. Upstream fix: Go 1.25.11 and Go 1.26.4 (GO-2026-5037). Workaround: To mitigate this issue, applications can be configured to use the pure Go DNS resolver instead of the `cgo` DNS resolver. This can be achieved by setting the `GODEBUG` environment variable to `netdns=go`. For example, to run a Go application with this mitigation: `GODEBUG=netdns=go /path/to/your/go/application`. This change may require restarting affected applications or services to take effect. Users should verify that this change does not negatively impact DNS resolution for their specific application environment. Workaround: Upgrade to a fixed golang.org/x/net release that includes the idna correction, via updated golang or dependent package rebuilds. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, restrict network access to services that process MIME headers from untrusted sources. Implement input validation and sanitization for all incoming data, especially MIME headers, to prevent maliciously crafted content from being processed by applications utilizing the vulnerable Golang MIME package. Workaround: See the security bulletin for a detailed mitigation procedure.
