"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1876 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.");
