NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang package and not the golang package as distributed by RHEL.

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.
