AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled CPU exhaustion in Go's standard-library crypto/tls package allows remote unauthenticated attackers to send an unbounded stream of TLS 1.3 KeyUpdate messages, forcing the server to perform continuous HKDF key derivation operations and causing a denial of service. Affected versions span Go crypto/tls prior to 1.25.13, 1.26.6, and 1.27.0-rc.3 across all three active release branches. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS stands at a low 0.18%, but the zero-authentication network attack surface makes this trivially reachable against any internet-exposed Go TLS server without any special preconditions.
Technical ContextAI
Go's standard library crypto/tls implements TLS including the TLS 1.3 post-handshake KeyUpdate message defined in RFC 8446 Section 4.6.3, which allows either peer to request an update of traffic encryption keys mid-session. The root cause (CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) is that the Go implementation unconditionally treats every incoming KeyUpdate as a state-advancing operation without verifying that a full handshake has been established or enforcing any rate limit or count ceiling on such messages. Each KeyUpdate triggers an HKDF-Expand-Label key derivation call, a cryptographically non-trivial operation. A single malicious client connection can therefore generate an unbounded flood of KeyUpdate records, driving continuous key derivation on the server until CPU is exhausted. Affected CPE ranges per EUVD-2026-58511 are crypto/tls 0 through <1.25.13, 1.26.0-0 through <1.26.6, and 1.27.0-0 through <1.27.0-rc.3, covering all three currently maintained Go release branches.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to upgrade Go to a patched release: 1.25.13, 1.26.6, or 1.27.0-rc.3 or later, which correct the KeyUpdate handling logic in crypto/tls to guard against unbounded post-handshake message processing. Vendor vulnerability details and patched version confirmation are available at https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2026-6090 and https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/94pEornpRlI. For environments that cannot immediately upgrade, placing a TLS-terminating reverse proxy such as nginx or HAProxy in front of Go services and configuring per-connection rate limits or maximum record counts at the proxy layer serves as a compensating control, at the cost of added latency and an additional infrastructure dependency. Restricting TLS port access to known-good IP ranges via firewall or load-balancer ACLs reduces but does not eliminate the attack surface. Code-level workarounds within application code are not feasible because the flaw resides in the standard library itself.
