HIGH 7.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-32283 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting go. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

If one side of the TLS connection sends multiple key update messages post-handshake in a single record, the connection can deadlock, causing uncontrolled consumption of resources. This can lead to a denial of service. This only affects TLS 1.3.

Why this priority

High severity
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

golang go UPGRADE

Affected: < 1.25.9 · >= 1.26.0 and < 1.26.2

Fixed in: 1.25.9, 1.26.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.26.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy go || rpm -q go || go --version

2. UPGRADE to 1.25.9 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade go

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade go

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.26.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison go sudo apt install go=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.26.0> sudo apt-mark hold go

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list go sudo dnf downgrade go-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.26.0> sudo dnf versionlock add go

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
