Summary

Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing denial of service.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could cause system overload during certificate validation, leading to service unavailability.

Recommendation

Apply security updates provided by the software vendor (e.g., Go, OpenSSL) to mitigate this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing denial of service. This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate pool.
