CVE-2026-27138
5.9MEDIUM
What is CVE-2026-27138?
A vulnerability exists in the Go programming language related to certificate verification within TLS connections. When validating X.509 certificate chains, the process may panic if a certificate in the chain contains an empty DNS name while another certificate has excluded name constraints. This issue can lead to program crashes during both direct verification and functions relying on TLS, potentially disrupting services and applications leveraging these certificates.
