Amazon Linux 2 : golist, --advisory ALAS2-2026-3382 (ALAS-2026-3382)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 322028
Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
The version of golist installed on the remote host is prior to 0.10.1-10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3382 advisory.(*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)
Decoding a maliciously-crafted MIME header containing many invalid encoded-words can consume excessive CPU. (CVE-2026-42504)
When returning errors, functions in the net/textproto package would include its input as part of the error. This might allow an attacker to inject misleading content to errors that are printed or logged.
(CVE-2026-42507)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
