How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 golang1.26-docs to version 0:1.26.8-0.1.hum1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:62391.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang1.26-docs package and not the golang1.26-docs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.
