Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the `crypto/tls` package, part of `golang`. A malicious client can exploit this vulnerability by continuously sending KeyUpdate messages to a server. This forces the server to perform indefinite key derivation operations, leading to resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-13 22:25:13 UTC
Handshake messages, such as KeyUpdate, are always considered as state-advancing, regardless of whether a handshake has been completed or not. As a result, a malicious client can keep sending KeyUpdate messages to force the server to keep performing key derivation operations indefinitely.
