Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.25.11stdlib: security update to 1.26.4

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442593

Description

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

- (*x509.Certificate).VerifyHostname previously called matchHostnames in a loop over all DNS Subject
Alternative Name (SAN) entries. This caused strings.Split(host, ".") to execute repeatedly on the same
input hostname. With a large DNS SAN list, verification costs scaled quadratically based on the number of
SAN entries multiplied by the hostname's label count. Because x509.Verify validates hostnames before
building the certificate chain, this overhead occurred even for untrusted certificates. (CVE-2026-27145)

Solution

Update the stdlib library and its related packages to version 1.25.11 or later.
