What is CVE-2025-58187?

The vulnerability in the Go programming language arises from inefficient processing in the name constraint checking algorithm, leading to non-linear scaling of processing time based on certificate size. This flaw can impact applications that validate arbitrary certificate chains, potentially exposing them to performance-related attacks or delays during validation.
