CVE-2018-16875 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:9 golang-1.8.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.8 package and not the golang-1.8 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
The crypto/x509 package of Go before 1.10.6 and 1.11.x before 1.11.3 does not limit the amount of work performed for each chain verification, which might allow attackers to craft pathological inputs leading to a CPU denial of service. Go TLS servers accepting client certificates and TLS clients are affected.
