RHSA-2026:80684 PUBLISHED CVSS 8.100000381469727 HIGH

A flaw was found in the `crypto/x509` package of `golang`. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by presenting a specially crafted X.509 certificate with a large number of DNS Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries. The certificate verification process, specifically the `VerifyHostname` function, incurs excessive computational overhead due to repeated string operations when processing these entries. This can lead to a significant performance degradation or unresponsiveness of systems validating such certificates.
