Golang 1.25.x < 1.25.10 / 1.26.x < 1.26.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 314962

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Golang running on the remote host is 1.25.x prior to 1.25.10, or 1.26.x prior to 1.26.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

- The net package's LookupCNAME function could trigger a double-free crash when using the cgo DNS resolver with very long CNAME responses. (CVE-2026-33811)

- A symlink-handling flaw in the `go bug` command could allow an attacker to overwrite files in the system temporary directory. (CVE-2026-39819)

 - Additional flaws affecting net, net/mail, and html/template that could be abused for denial of service or incorrect output escaping. (CVE-2026-39836, CVE-2026-42499, CVE-2026-39820, CVE-2026-39826) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Golang Go version 1.25.10, 1.26.3 or later.
