SCA: security update for gogs.io/gogs (GHSA-xp79-5mx3-jx52)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443818

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, the Gogs built-in Go SSH server is
 vulnerable to an unauthenticated, asymmetric Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The application accepts
 inbound TCP connections and passes them to golang.org/x/crypto/ssh.NewServerConn inside a new goroutine
 without enforcing any read/write deadlines on the underlying net.Conn. An unauthenticated attacker can
 open multiple TCP connections to the SSH port and simply withhold the SSH protocol banner. This forces the
 server to spawn an unbounded number of goroutines that block indefinitely waiting for socket I/O. This
 leads to complete File Descriptor (FD) exhaustion, preventing legitimate users from accessing the Git SSH
 service, and ultimately destabilizing the entire Gogs process (e.g., causing internal log rotation
 failures). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3. (CVE-2026-52814)

Solution

Update the gogs.io/gogs library and its related packages to version 0.14.3 or later.
