Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.25.7 and 1.24.13, minor point releases.
These releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
cmd/cgo: remove user-content from doc strings in cgo ASTs
A discrepancy between how Go and C/C++ comments
were parsed allowed for code smuggling into the
resulting cgo binary.
To prevent this behavior, the cgo compiler
will no longer parse user-provided doc
comments.
Thank you to RyotaK (https://ryotak.net) of
GMO Flatt Security Inc. for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61732 and https://go.dev/issue/76697.
crypto/tls: unexpected session resumption when using Config.GetConfigForClient
Config.GetConfigForClient is documented to use the original Config's session
ticket keys unless explicitly overridden. This can cause unexpected behavior if
the returned Config modifies authentication parameters, like ClientCAs: a
connection initially established with the parent (or a sibling) Config can be
resumed, bypassing the modified authentication requirements.
If ClientAuth is VerifyClientCertIfGiven or RequireAndVerifyClientCert (on the
server) or InsecureSkipVerify is false (on the client), crypto/tls now checks
that the root of the previously-verified chain is still in ClientCAs/RootCAs
when resuming a connection.
Go 1.26 Release Candidate 2, Go 1.25.6, and Go 1.24.12 had fixed a similar issue
related to session ticket keys being implicitly shared by Config.Clone. Since
this fix is broader, the Config.Clone behavior change has been reverted.
Note that VerifyPeerCertificate still behaves as documented: it does not apply
to resumed connections. Applications that use Config.GetConfigForClient or
Config.Clone and do not wish to blindly resume connections established with the
original Config must use VerifyConnection instead (or SetSessionTicketKeys or
SessionTicketsDisabled).
