BSD Portsgo -- excessive resource consumption
· CVE-2025-61729 · VuXML entry
The Go project reports: Within HostnameError.Error(), when constructing an error string, there is no limit to the number of hosts that will be printed out. Furthermore, the error string is constructed by repeated string concatenation, leading to quadratic runtime. Therefore, a certificate provided by a malicious actor can result in excessive resource consumption.
Affected versions
- go124 < 1.24.11
- go125 < 1.25.5
By system
1 still vulnerable, 1 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
| System | Port | Version | State | Fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DragonFly | lang/go124 | 1.24.1_3 | vulnerable since 2025-12-03 | |
| NetBSD | lang/go124 | 1.24.13 | not listed | |
| MidnightBSD | lang/go124 | 1.24.13 | out of range, by version | |
| GhostBSD | lang/go125 | 1.25.14_1 | fixed | |
| NetBSD | lang/go125 | 1.25.14 | not listed | |
| MidnightBSD | lang/go125 | 1.25.14 | out of range, by version |
