The test tarball from test/build.sh is built on the kubekins image and
run on other distros. A dynamic runc built on Debian trixie needs
GLIBC_2.38 and fails on AL2023 (kubernetes/kubernetes#142987).
Build with `make static` like the runc release binaries. EL has no
libseccomp-static, so the Fedora/EL VMs keep the dynamic build via
RUNC_DYNAMIC=1.

- crypto/x509: mitigation for security concerns with a specific Certificate Authority
We're blocking trust in a small set of intermediate certificates due to specific security concerns around their operation.
Verify will now filter out chains which contain these intermediates, preventing them from being returned to the caller.
We highly recommend immediately upgrading to this release.

These releases include 15 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: HTTP/2 server crash due to HPACK encoder race
HTTP/2 servers could end up crashing due to inadvertently
modifying its HPACK encoder concurrently. This happens because the
server modifies the HPACK encoder from two goroutines without
synchronization: one uses the encoder to encode a HEADERS frame as part
of a response sent to a client and the other modifies the encoder's
table size when handling a SETTINGS frame containing
SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE that a client sends. A malicious client can
repeatedly send a request while changing the header table size to crash
the server.
Fix this issue by not applying SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE immediately.
Instead, buffer any SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE received, and only apply
the new value prior to the next time the server writes a frame.

This is CVE-2026-97032 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81867.
- net/http: HTTP/2 server memory exhaustion due to Trailer headers
When "Trailer" headers are sent by a client, the HTTP server internally
uses the header values to populate the Request.Trailer map passed to the
server handler. Because Request.Trailer is a map, each entry incurs
memory overhead. For HTTP/2 servers, a malicious client can exploit this
by sending a "Trailer" header that declares a large number of fields,
causing the server to allocate a disproportionate amount of memory while
bypassing Server.MaxHeaderValueCount and Server.MaxHeaderBytes limits.
This exploit is not applicable for HTTP/1 servers, which do not support
multiplexing a large number of requests over one TCP connection, and
whose Server.MaxHeaderBytes are calculated differently.
Server.MaxHeaderValueCount and Server.MaxHeaderBytes limits are now
applied towards the trailer fields declared in "Trailer" headers.
Thanks to RyotaK (https://ryotak.net) of GMO Flatt Security Inc. for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-78659 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81857.
- crypto/tls: reject malformed ECH outer extension references
Multiple ECH outer extension references are not
permitted under RFC 9849; previously, a client
could send a well-crafted packet that could
trigger memory exhaustion in the server process
by specifying multiple references.
We now reject these as malformed and curb the
memory amplification vector as a result.
This is CVE-2026-97031 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81855.
- cmd/go: checksum bypass for golang.org/fips140
Previously, a user operating inside of a malicious
Go project that defines a bogus golang.org/fips140
and operates a malicious GOMODPROXY the user chooses
to connect to can serve an arbitrary module in its
place.
We now unpack the trusted ziphash for the bundled
golang.org/fips140 module and construct its entry
in the GOMODCACHE such that it can be verified by
the toolchain.
This is CVE-2026-94444 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81833.
- cmd/go: checksum database bypass for golang.org/toolchain
Previously, a user operating inside of a malicious
Go project that defines a bogus golang.org/toolchain
go.sum entry and operates a malicious GOMODPROXY the
user chooses to use can bypass the intended checksum.
We now ensure that golang.org/toolchain always goes
to the network for the canonical checksum.
This is CVE-2026-94447 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81834.
- html/template: reset context tracking on consecutive template expressions
When a JavaScript template literal contains
consecutive expressions, the context tracking
state was not properly reset upon entering a
new expression.
We now ensure that template-literal expression
entries correctly reset context variables so all
subsequent regular expression literals are
accurately recognized and escaped.
This is CVE-2026-94448 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81821.
- html/template: recognize yield as regexp preceder keyword
A trusted template author may have previously
written a valid template wherein the use of
the yield keyword would not be correctly
escaped.
We now ensure that valid keyword uses are
escaped and non-keyword uses are not escaped.
This is CVE-2026-97030 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81823.
- net/textproto, mime/multipart: memory limit bypass when parsing MIME headers
Parsing a multipart form could bypass memory limits and read an
arbitrarily long line into memory when the remaining limit at the
start of a part was less than 400 bytes.
Multipart form memory limits are now properly enforced in this situation.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek (https://ciolek.dev) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-94440 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81741.
- net/http: HTTP/1 client connection desynchronization after CONNECT rejection
When http.Transport sends an HTTP/1 CONNECT request with a non-empty
Request.Body, it writes the body directly to the connection without
framing after the request headers. If the server rejects the CONNECT
request with a non-2xx keep-alive response, Transport returns the
connection to the idle pool. Because CONNECT requests do not have a
request body, the server may interpret the trailing body bytes as a
subsequent pipelined HTTP/1.1 request on the connection, leaving the
pooled connection desynchronized and causing the next caller that reuses
it to read the response to the injected request. In reverse proxies
(including httputil.ReverseProxy) that forward CONNECT requests through
a shared Transport, this can lead to cross-user response poisoning.
The HTTP/1 transport now closes a connection after sending a CONNECT
request, regardless of the response status.
In addition, ReverseProxy now rejects incoming CONNECT requests
with a 405 Method Not Allowed response. ReverseProxy has never handled
CONNECT requests in a useful fashion (it does not convert the
connection into a bidirectional tunnel), so we do not expect this
change to negatively affect any current users.
Thanks to Xclow3n (Rajat Raghav) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-56866 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81740.
- net/http: HTTP/1 server connection desynchronization after 2xx CONNECT response
When an HTTP server handler sent a 2xx response to an HTTP/1 CONNECT request
and returned without hijacking the connection, the server improperly continued
to read and serve requests from the connection. Since a 2xx response to an
HTTP/1 CONNECT converts the connection into a tunnel, the server should not
treat the connection as continuing to contain HTTP.
The impact of this misbehavior is mostly limited to potential request smuggling,
where an intermediate proxy considers the data on the connection to be tunneled
and the server considers it to be HTTP.
The HTTP/1 server now always closes a connection after responding to a CONNECT
request, regardless of the response status.

- net/http: excessive CPU consumption from repeated initial window changes
A malicious HTTP/2 peer could cause excessive CPU consumption in the
client or server by opening a large number of streams and then sending
many small SETTINGS frames containing SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE values.
The HTTP/2 client and server now efficiently handle changes to the
initial window size (O(1) rather than O(number of streams)).
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek (https://ciolek.dev) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-78669 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81742.
- net/http: HTTP/2 transport accepts malformed framing-related headers
Historically, we have been rather lax about malformed framing-related
headers in our HTTP/2 implementation, as they cannot interfere with
HTTP/2 framing. However, this makes it possible for our HTTP/2
implementation to forward responses containing such headers to an HTTP/1
client when acting as a reverse proxy. If the HTTP/1 client also does
not behave strictly enough, this can result in response smuggling.
We now delete malformed framing-related headers when received by our
HTTP/2 transport, so they will not be forwarded to a potentially
vulnerable HTTP/1 client.
Thanks to TJ Barton for reporting this issue.

- os: Root.Mkdir(All) can follow junctions out of the root on Windows
On Windows, when the target of Root.Mkdir or Root.MkdirAll was a junction
pointing to an empty location, the operation would create a directory at
the junction target even when that target was located outside the root.
This only applies to operations where the last path component is a
junction (path/to/junction, but not path/junction/target).
Root.Mkdir and Root.MkdirAll now correctly avoid resolving junctions.

- net/http: lack of limit on size of parsed Range headers
When parsing a Range header containing a large number of small ranges,
FileServer(FS), ServeContent, and ServeFile(FS) could consume an excessive
amount of CPU.
These functions now ignore Range headers containing more than 200 ranges.
The limit is controlled by the new httpservecontentmaxranges=
GODEBUG setting. Setting GODEBUG=httpservecontentmaxranges=0
disables the limit.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek (https://ciolek.dev) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-78667 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/81858.
- net/http: double flow control refund on HTTP/2 server streams
The HTTP/2 server could refund connection-level flow control twice for the same data:
Once when a client resets a stream (refunding data for any sent-but-unread portion
of the stream), and again when a request handler reads the buffered data.
A malicious client could exploit this to bypass the configured connection-level
flow control limit (MaxReceiveBufferPerConnection). Total buffered data is still
limited by the concurrent stream limit and stream-level flow control.
The HTTP/2 server now waits to refund connection-level flow control for reset
streams until after the request handler is complete.

This is the second patch release in the 1.5.z release series of runc,
which primarily includes a workaround for a Linux kernel bug causing
random runc crashes when using cgroup v2, and other fixes.
Fixed
- `runc exec -p` with a `process.json` lacking env now sets HOME again (a regression in runc 1.3.0).
- Worked around a Linux kernel bug (present since kernel v6.17, fixed in v7.2)
which caused the kernel to write past the end of the structure
provided by userspace (runc). This resulted in memory corruption inside runc
(manifesting as random crashes) when configuring device rules on cgroup v2
systems.
- `runc exec --cgroup` (and the equivalent libcontainer `Process.SubCgroupPaths`
API) no longer accepts a sub-cgroup path that escapes the container's cgroup
into a sibling cgroup sharing the same name prefix. Note that using
`--cgroup` requires the same privileges as running runc exec itself, so
this is a correctness rather than a security fix.
- Fixed a missing `O_CLOEXEC` when opening the cgroup v2 directory to set up
device rules.
- Some long-standing file-descriptor leaks on the eBPF devices cgroups were
fixed.
- When rootfsPropagation is set to `rslave`, the rootfs parent mount is no
longer made private before pivoting into the rootfs, so unmount/remount
events on host mountpoints under the rootfs are now propagated to the
running container.
- runc no longer misdetects a non-initial user namespace as the initial one
when that namespace has a full identity ID mapping (0 0 4294967295), as
used by systemd >= 260 units with `PrivateUsers=full`. Previously this made
runc skip its user namespace code paths, so starting a container in such a
unit failed with `bpf_prog_query(BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE) failed: operation not permitted`.
- Fixed a runc init panic (`SIGABRT`) on the error path, caused by SELinux
labels being reset after the cached libpathrs procfs handle was already
closed. This is fixed both by not resetting the labels on the init error
path, and by updating to libpathrs v0.2.6, which now handles a closed
procfs handle gracefully.
- Fixed various issues when the libseccomp version runc is run with differs
from the one it was compiled against (e.g. built with libseccomp >= 2.6.0 and
run with an older one), by updating to libseccomp-golang v0.12.0. This also
supersedes the `SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV` workaround added in
runc 1.5.1.
- The libseccomp library statically linked into release binaries is now built
with optimizations enabled (the default `-g -O2 CFLAGS`); previously it was
built unoptimized.
Changed
- Switched to opencontainers/cgroups v0.1.0, which no longer uses the
high-level cilium/ebpf API to manage cgroup v2 device rules. As a result,
the runc binary shrunk by about 1 MiB (7.5%) on amd64. This also means runc
no longer calls the cilium/ebpf code affected by GO-2026-6238.
- Updated golang.org/x/net to v0.55.0.
- Updated builds to libseccomp v2.6.1.

Signed-off-by: Akhil Mohan <akhilerm@gmail.com>
This release include 11 security fixes:
- cmd/go: malicious module proxy can bypass checksum database
A malicious module proxy could exploit a flaw in the go command's
validation of module checksums to bypass checksum database validation.
This vulnerability affects any user using an untrusted module proxy
(GOMODPROXY) or checksum database (GOSUMDB).
A malicious module proxy can serve altered versions of the Go toolchain.
When selecting a different version of the Go toolchain than the
currently installed toolchain (due to the GOTOOLCHAIN environment variable,
or a go.work or go.mod with a toolchain line), the go command will download
and execute a toolchain provided by the module proxy. A malicious module
proxy can bypass checksum database validation for this downloaded
toolchain.
Since this vulnerability affects the security of toolchain downloads,
setting GOTOOLCHAIN to a fixed version is not sufficient. You must upgrade
your base Go toolchain.
The go tool always validates the hash of a toolchain before executing it,
so fixed versions will refuse to execute any cached, altered versions of the
toolchain.
The go tool trusts go.sum files to contain accurate hashes of the current
module's dependencies. A malicious proxy exploiting this vulnerability to
serve an altered module will have caused an incorrect hash to be recorded
in the go.sum. Users who have configured a non-trusted GOPROXY can determine
if they have been affected by running "rm go.sum ; go mod tidy ; go mod verify",
which will revalidate all dependencies of the current module.
The specific flaw in more detail:
The go command consults the checksum database to validate downloaded modules,
when a module is not listed in the go.sum file. It verifies that the module hash
reported by the checksum database matches the hash of the downloaded module.
If, however, the checksum database returns a successful response that contains
no entry for the module, the go command incorrectly permitted validation to succeed.
A module proxy may mirror or proxy the checksum database, in which case the go
command will not connect to the checksum database directly. Checksums reported
by the checksum database are cryptographically signed, so a malicious proxy
cannot alter the reported checksum for a module. However, a proxy which returns
an empty checksum response, or a checksum response for an unrelated module,
could cause the go command to proceed as if a downloaded module has been validated.
The go command now properly checks checksum database responses to ensure
that the expected module signature is present, not just that if a signature is
present it matches the expectation.

This is CVE-2026-42501 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/79070.
- net/http/httputil: ReverseProxy forwards queries with more than urlmaxqueryparams parameters
When used with a Rewrite function, or a Director function which parses query parameters,
ReverseProxy sanitizes the forwarded request to remove query parameters which are not
parsed by url.ParseQuery. ReverseProxy did not take ParseQuery's limit on the total number
of query parameters (controlled by GODEBUG=urlmaxqueryparams=N) into account.
This could permit ReverseProxy to forward a request containing a query parameter
that was not visible to the Rewrite function.
For example, the query "a1=x&a2=x&...&a10000=x&hidden=y" could forward the parameter
"hidden=y" while hiding it from the proxy's Rewrite function.
ReverseProxy now avoids forwarding parameters that exceed the ParseQuery limit.

It is used by the compiler as an internal tool with known-good inputs.
The "pack" subcommand did not sanitize output filenames.
When invoked to extract a malicious archive file, it could write

We have just released Go versions 1.26.1 and 1.25.8, minor point releases.
These releases include 5 security fixes following the security policy:
crypto/x509: incorrect enforcement of email constraints
- When verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate containing
multiple email address constraints (composed of the full email address) which
share common local portions (the portion of the address before the '@'
character) but different domain portions (the portion of the address after the
'@' character), these constraints will not be properly applied, and only the
last constraint will be considered.
This can allow certificates in the chain containing email addresses which are
either not permitted or excluded by the relevant constraints to be returned by
calls to Certificate.Verify. Since the name constraint checks happen after chain
building is complete, this only applies to certificate chains which chain to
trusted roots (root certificates either in VerifyOptions.Roots or in the system
root certificate pool), requiring a trusted CA to issue certificates containing
either not permitted or excluded email addresses.
This issue only affects Go 1.26.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27137 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77952.
- crypto/x509: panic in name constraint checking for malformed certificates
Certificate verification can panic when a certificate in the chain has an empty
DNS name and another certificate in the chain has excluded name constraints.
This can crash programs that are either directly verifying X.509 certificate
chains, or those that use TLS.
Since the name constraint checks happen after chain building is complete, this
only applies to certificate chains which chain to trusted roots (root
certificates either in VerifyOptions.Roots or in the system root certificate
pool), requiring a trusted CA to issue certificates containing malformed DNS
names.
This issue only affects Go 1.26.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27138 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77953.
- html/template: URLs in meta content attribute actions are not escaped
Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not
escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute
with the value "refresh".
A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be
used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which
follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0.
This is CVE-2026-27142 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77954.
- net/url: reject IPv6 literal not at start of host
The Go standard library function net/url.Parse insufficiently
validated the host/authority component and accepted some invalid URLs
by effectively treating garbage before an IP-literal as ignorable.
The function should have rejected this as invalid.
To prevent this behavior, net/url.Parse now rejects IPv6 literals
that do not appear at the start of the host subcomponent of a URL.

- os: FileInfo can escape from a Root
On Unix platforms, when listing the contents of a directory using
File.ReadDir or File.Readdir the returned FileInfo could reference
a file outside of the Root in which the File was opened.
The contents of the FileInfo were populated using the lstat system
call, which takes the path to the file as a parameter. If a component
of the full path of the file described by the FileInfo is replaced with
a symbolic link, the target of the lstat can be directed to another
location on the filesystem.
The impact of this escape is limited to reading metadata provided by
lstat from arbitrary locations on the filesystem. This could be used
to probe for the presence or absence of files as well as gleaning
metadata like file sizes, but does not permit reading or writing files
outside the root.
The FileInfo is now populated using fstatat.
Thank you to Miloslav Trmač of Red Hat for reporting this issue.
